This March, I’m challenging myself to swim to save lives.

Thank you so much for checking out this page. In the month of March, I'll be raising money and swimming heaps of laps to support ReachOut. The money will go towards resources and awareness of youth mental health. 

The leading cause of the death of young people is suicide, which is extremely sad. This is higher than car crashes or cancer. Please share this page or if you feel inclined, please donate some money. 

Thanks heaps,

 Joel

Day 1 😁

Today I started my first chunk of the 1000 laps and got 50 done. Strewth I'm a bit wrecked afterwards but I really enjoyed the feeling of being in the water and being active again. 
And of course to mark the occasion my dad bought me some new bathers 😆. That always makes you swim faster hahaha. 

Why I'm doing laps for life.

Hey legends, I greatly appreciate you taking time out of your day to look at my page on Laps For Life. 
This organization is doing some amazing work in creating a catalogue of resources to improve our approach to mental health. This includes information for people struggling with their own mental health, resources for friends, families, teachers, and the community, and even resources for mental health professionals. 
Swimming to raise money and awareness for mental health really spoke to me. I grew up swimming and found a lot of enjoyment in being in the water. That's true to this day where I share the love I have through teaching kids to swim. I've joined Team Chlorine with other work colleagues to further share the love of swimming with the community and to raise funds and awareness of improving youth mental health. 
My goal is to swim 1000 laps of the pool I've grown up learning to swim in, which is 20km. That'll be a bit of a challenge for me because I'm totally out of practice, plus uni is starting back this month. But with the support of Team Chlorine and my friends and family, I know I can smash it out of the park. 
If you feel compelled to, I'd greatly appreciate any money you want to donate or sharing my profile with others to spread the message. 
Thank you for reading, I love you all <3>
