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
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.

My Updates
First swim
Toady was my first swim towards completing my target of 20km. Sunday isn’t a day I usually swim a Dan the pool was crowded so I only swam 1.1km. Wednesday I’ll get up earlier than usual and hopefully I can smash out 2km and again on Thursday. This time next week I am hoping to celebrate at least 6km. Please keep my efforts in your thoughts and prayers. I really want to reach 20km by the end of March. Always Jennifer ShareThank you to my
