Why I swim
I'm swimming this March to raise awareness and funds to help support young people who feel like they've got nowhere to turn. None of us needs to live this life alone
I'm swimming to save lives
I'm taking part in Laps For Life to help motivate myself to get back in the pool, but also because this is particularly close to my heart - this month marks 17 years since I survived a pretty serious suicide attempt. It took me a long time to be ok with still being alive honestly, and now I'm at a point where I celebrate the anniversary like a second birthday. The younger versions of me would have been effing stoked for some support like Reach Out provides. It's not just for youth, it's for parents/caregivers too, they have fantastic resources for anyone affected by this.- For anyone struggling with ideation or trudging through the swamps of depression, you're not alone. Never alone 💜
