I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?

That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.

This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.

All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.

This will be the first challenge I have ever done for the cause, and I cannot wait to achieve my goal and to support this cause.

4kms later...

... and it's (almost) a wrap for me! This challenge helped me a lot to focus and to realise (more) than mental health is an essential part of us, and also it helped me to start healing some stuff from the past. I'll continue swimming and next year, the goal will be longer and more $ What a beautiful day to say I swam 4Ks and raised $1001. Thanks to all who contributed to it.

400mts more and target achieved!

Motivation is through the roof! I'm so close to raise $1000 for Laps of Life, and 400mts more to achieve my swimming goal. I thought I was going to give uo at some point, but thanks to friends, family, and anonymous donations, this has been an amazing experience, and I'm willing to continue raising awareness about mental health and swimming!

700mts more to the tally

I needed to swim today for some reason, and here I am! THANKS to everyone who donated for this cause. I have reached my goal, but I won't stop swimming and fundraising until it's over!

Back after alf created havoc

Cannot believe it's been a week since Alf visited SEQ, and what a way to enjoy today's weather than with a swim. 500mts today and with a nice blue swimming cap!

Another great session today

Day 2 and loving it..

First swim of the challenge!

The day has come and a challenge starts. I just came to my local pool and swam around 400mts (8 laps). I forgot how good it feels to swim. Mental health is so important these days, and I hope we can make a difference. Here I am after my first swim...
