Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
I'm swimming to save lives
I’ve been hitting the pool a fair bit lately, so I figured I may as well make my laps in March have an impact on others.
I’m committing to 30km’s.
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.
More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million are not getting the support they need.
ReachOut provides anonymous, free and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.
I’m taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.

My Updates
“just swim through it…”
“Just swim through it” doesn’t always work. But if you tried to swim through, that’s still better than letting the (insert issue) get all the attention. So today I swam without the goal of curing anything at all except knowing at least today I swam. Didn’t take any happy snaps, so please enjoy this picture of lap stats. Share
What swimming means to me..
As kids we were fortunate to be taught to swim early, including competing in school and community tournaments.My Gallery
