I'm swimming to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing for young people.

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health
This March I will be participating in Laps for Lives! My goal is to swim 5km from the 1st to the 31th and raise funds for Reach Out Australia. Reach Out works to support young people by providing mental health resources, building connections and access to someone to speak with, and helping young people develop strategies to promote their wellbeing. By getting in the pool, even when I'm not feeling 100%, I am hoping to reduce the stigma of speaking out around mental health and suicide. If you wish to sponsor me this March, thank you. Any amount will help me reach my goal!

Hit 10km

Done!! Hit 10Km.

Second swim! hit 5km

Hit my goal!! In from 7.15 out at 8.30am. I forgot how wonderful it is to swim and just feel the water.

First swim done!

Day 1 2.5 km down! In pool from 6.20 to 7.30am, 50 laps. It was so lovely to be able to watch the sky turn from dark blue, through the shades of purple to pink and orange. A huge thank you to those that have donated already for this cause.
