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
Swimming has always been important to my mental health, and since David’s bike accident 2 years ago, even more important. Mental health challenges are all around us affecting many of us personally, and I have participated in this swimming fund raiser three times before. I think it is worth supporting. It also provides me with a focus to swim in March (which I like to do anyway!) fitted around David’s physio rehab and other health related commitments /visits. My grandsons Etienne and Archer also plan to swim 2km between them as part of my total. I want them to participate in supporting others in dealing with our challenging world. I would be most grateful if you could consider donating - we have committed to swim 25km over the month (but might swim more) , but am committing to this distance!! Both my grandsons will be swimming in a 25 metre pool over March (they are in this photo with me) - as part of this total - so we are a team!!!.
Also as outlined by this charity website / promotional material I now know that “suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia - more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer. That is why I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need. All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing”.
