Celeste Whitmore

The last 5 years has gifted me with several health challenges, from Cancer to Spinal and Nerve injuries, and I am so over the daily struggle. This year I am determined to make a change & claw my way back to some level of health & fitness without incurring further injuries along the way. My physio's advised work in the pool & I am loving diving in every morning before work! To keep myself accountable I have joined the LAPS FOR LIFE challenge happening in throughout March. Youth suicide is a nightmare scenario for any parent, and I therefore hope to contribute to the efforts that make a real difference for young people in need. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. If any of you would like to join me in supporting this important cause, I would be deeply grateful for your sponsorship and encouragement. Your support will not only motivate me but also help make a positive impact in the lives of vulnerable youth. For my initial target, I have set a modest goal of swimming 2 kilometres. I plan to assess my progress and consider increasing both my distance and fundraising target as I build strength and confidence in the water - wish me luck and please consider sponsoring my swim for a great cause!
