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. Having being labeled with - - Depression - Anxiety - ADHD - Eating Disorders - Emotional Dysregulation - Compulsive disorder - Addiction - Constant Suicidal thoughts Not am i only just doing this for our most Vulnerable our beautiful children. I'm doing this to rebuild my purpose and face alot fear and shame I've lived with in my past. Would love for anyone to join me team name "The Resilient Kid Project". and any donation is muchly appreciated because no child deserves the pain and suffering that comes with mental illness. Ill be posting daily reels to keep me accountable and shed some light on mental illness for hope it can reach someone that might need the help. Much Love James "Jimmy" Brown
I'm swimming to save lives for our most vulnerable our beautiful children.
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.
Having being labelled with -
-Depression
-Anxiety
-ADHD
-Eating Disorders
-Emotional Dysregulation
-Complusive Disorder
-Constant suicidal thoughts
I'm not only using this as a challenge to raise awareness for our most vulnerable our beautiful children. I'm using this as a tool to redevelop my purpose.
I invite anyone to join me along the way team "The Resilient Kid Project". and any donations is muchly apricated.
Ill be posting daily accountability video's to shed some light around living with mental illness and hopefully can touch and reach someone that needs to hear it.
Much Love
James "Jimmy" Brown.

This takes guts. Speaking up, showing up, and swimming for something bigger than yourself. Proud to stand beside you, mate. You’re not alone in this not now, not ever.
