Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because my daughter has serious mental health issues. She has tried to commit suicide multiple times. I have supported my partner for 12 years with bi-polar and now I have lost him to dementia. He has been in hospital for over 6 months. I used to swim 3km every morning when I was younger but now I’m not, ha! This means a lot to me. I’m not sure I’ll raise too much funds as most of my friends are doing it tough. Still, I will swim as much as I can thinking of all those as I freestyle! Lots of love everyone
I'm swimming to save lives
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.
