Why I swim
8 years ago Toby Flemming ended his life by jumping off the cliffs at North Curl Curl. Our families have been friends for many years. I’m swimming this March to honour Toby. 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
Hi friends, I have now swum 27 klms towards my 30 klm goal. My shoulders & arms are feeling it; still, not bad for an old chook.
If you haven’t already sponsored me, please consider it as this is a very worth while cause and every bit helps.
I’d like to thank all who have donated to Laps for Life and for all the support I have received. ❤️ 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.
