I'm swimming to make an impact

  • This is my second year diving

  • in for youth mental health

I know everyone and their dog has a cause that they are trying to get some attention on and every now and then they ask you to give something to, but this one I'm willing to bet is something that would have made a difference in your life. 


We have all been teenagers and have either had challenges with mental health or had a close friend or relative who has. This is a problem that is only getting worse with the fact that every move can be recorded and made permanent on social media. I know the nonsense I got up to in my teenage years and having a permanent online record of that would have been tough to deal with. 

If not for you make an impact for a family member, a friend or for one of the friends I had that had to deal with it for years and had no one to turn to.

Here we go

A year ago I got tagged in a post to raise some money and get into the pool. It was slow going initially but I got into a decent rhythm and managed to do over 2km in my final swim for the month that I was over the moon with. 

Fast forward a year and I just completed the Busselton jetty swim (3.6km open water) and I'm raring to get going again this year. 

I cannot wait to see how far I'm able to go this year. Trying to swim at least 3 days a week and doing an hour in the water each time. Please support the cause as it goes a long way to giving much needed help.
