Why I swim
I have joined the Laps for Life 20km CEO Challenge in March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Life is all about making an impact, big or small, and to know that for every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming, that is an impact (and effort!) worth making. It's time to get out of my comfort lane and into the swimming lane...so please donate if you can (big or small). Thank you, Nathan.
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.

Most CEOs measure success in margins. You’re measuring it in metres! Huge respect for stepping up, getting uncomfortable, and swimming for something that truly matters. We’re cheering you on every single lap! And definitely not betting on how slow you'll swim.

At that height he’s basically doing fewer strokes than the rest of them but we’ll still give him credit for the laps. Proud of you, outstanding effort for a cracking cause.
