Why I swim
I am swimming this March for a cause that is very close to my heart. As a few people know my 13 year old daughter had a very hard year last year with her mental health and is continuing to do so. She is such a strong, beautiful girl, and I am so proud of her for continually showing up and fighting everyday. I am blessed to have her doing this with me. Please support her as well
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.

Finally after a week of being sick I got into the pool. still a bit hard with breathing but proud of myself fir getting in. Pool is now closing this Tuesday so we have to do lap swimming Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings between 6am to 9am. It is getting a bit chilly here in the mornings. ShareMy Gallery
