Why I swim

I’m swimming this March because I love the work that ReachOut does to provide relevant, non-cringe resources for young people to build coping skills and strategies that help prevent suicide. As the Auburn U/10's swimming club champion of 1986, I thought it was time I pulled my speedos on to help amplify the work ReachOut does for kids when life feels overwhelming!

Swimmer
When I set out to do Laps For Life I set a goal of $500 which I got in a few hours, then I moved it to $1000, then $1500 and now its at $2000 - AND I HAVENT EVEN DIVED IN YET. 

I've spent 15 years of my life working as a psychologist supporting mainly young people with their mental health.  I LOVE the work that Reach Out does and I want as many families an teens to access their resources as possible.  I also want to ensure their services can be continual and scalable to help prevent youth suicide and unfathomable and unnecessary loss. 

Can you help me get to my goal?
