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.
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
Setback
I woke up on Friday with a sore back😢. I knew I couldn’t go to the pool. so I have had an enforced rest over the weekend. It really doesn’t pay to push myself beyond my limit. I have to remember: “Easy does it.“ I will achieve my swimming goal🏊♀️🏊♀️ I still need to raise more money to achieve my goal. 🙏 ShareMy Gallery
