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
I swim for myself
Years I have looked after family members without any thought to my own health and well-being. Ive walked 60km for women's cancer, I've done other fundraising adventures. Then I stopped due to an injury to my back. I was on strong pain killers for 11 years to help me get through the day. In December something snapped and I didn't want to take them anymore. I stopped cold turkey. That's when I found swimming. it helps with my anxiety, helps with my pain, helps with my mental health. so if I can help raise money for a worthy cause then I'll try to help.
