Blog no 6

I swam 26 laps today - 14 this morning and this evening Richard joined me. He swam 10 widths and I did a further 12 laps. A total of 2 km for the week and I've raised over $1,000 now.

Another glorious day on Cooktown. I've just swum 24 laps. My nasty chesty cough is much better, which helps. I'm glad that I have strong lungs after all the years of playing the French horn. I've yet to meet my Cooktown team mates - although I have met Sienna, but I didn’t know she was in the team. We leave here on Friday. I'm looking forward to a couple of nights in Townsville, where my aqua aerobics commenced in October 2022. Thanks again to my sponsors. Hopefully we'll get to my revised goal of $1,000.

After an excellent aqua class I swam 12 laps of the 25 m pool. I've now swum 1.3 km and raised $806. Thanks so much everyone who's sponsored me so far. The amount swum goes down to zero on 1st March so I'll have to start again.

I took Richard with me to Cooktown pool today. I swam 20 laps of the 25m pool. Richard didn't do so many!!

Eleanor's laps for life blog number 2

Oops I've discovered you can't save a blog and go back to it. So, to continue my first ever blog we've now raised $361! Many thanks again. The photo is of the pool I swam in on Wednesday morning, before taking the Cessna from Cairns to Cooktown.

Eleanor's laps for life

Hi Friends Thanks to those who have already sponsored me. Before swimming any laps we already raised over $200. After my Acqua class in Cooktown pool this morning I managed five laps of the 25m pool. My fundraising total is now up to $... (see next blog)

We’re swimming to save lives

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, we’re swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

By sponsoring our 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.

Our Impact

So far this year we helped provide...

795

Young people with vital mental health support.
