Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because 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. No matter who you are or what you’re going through there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes you need help finding the light switch 🖤
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.

My Updates
Almost time!
I’ve not had a job since I was let go late last year and feel I’ve gotten into a bit of a rutt. I’m feel I’m done with hospitality and am hoping I can get back to studying Horticulture and have that lead into a job. although I’ve currently not got any income I’m so looking forward to getting back into the water and getting a bit of my purpose back. last time I did Laps For Life I felt so secure in myself, mind body and spirit- the exercise was amazing but the silence and peace of being head down in the water pushing myself to do lap after lap.. that feeling is unmatched. I’m so excited for this. I’ve now just gotta find a lap pool with a decent enough membership price so I can smash it out 💪🏻🏊♀️🩱 ShareThank you to my

F*** suicide. TELL YOUR FRIENDS YOU LOVE THEM! Loud and often!!! Check on your happy friends- check on your quiet friends- check on your busy friends! We’re all in this together- we all live on this earth together. Humans are designed for connection and love. Be there for each other.
So proud of you Go girl!
