Why I swim
I would describe myself as a weak swimmer; yet I have a love of water. I tend to enjoy breath stroke or frog strokes with my legs, holding a paddle board; or simply just walking|running in the pool. I'm determined to do my best to accomplish my laps for life in the swimming pool no matter what during the month of March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I endure will help prove there’s a safe place for young people to turn to when life feels overwhelming. Its ok to be challenged by things (no matter how big or small)...the important thing I wish to prove is there's always a a light at the end of the pool or laps. Challenges of all measures can be overcome. Watch me! Thanks for your support and encouragement every day for the month of March to accomplish this for the kids, warm rgds Michelle Paris
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.
