Tara

I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia? That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer. This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need. By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide. All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.

100 laps down

5 km completed at least 1 more to go

First chance for my dip

30 freestyle laps and ten laps of water running at AIS Bruce.

Doing it for boy

With Tara McInnes On 6 March 2005 my life changed for ever, in the worst and most agonising way possible, it was excruciatingly painful that no words can do it justice. I lost my best friend Steven. I normally am not into charities or fundraisers, however this March, I'm swimming to make sure young people like Boy, in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need, in addition I'm keeping my GP happy with the exercise and this will hold me accountable. my aim is to do 4 km in March, I'd love to do 20 but with work and other activities, it will not be realistic at this time. By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.
