I'm swimming for my brother

In April it’ll be four years since I lost my older brother, Michael, to mental illness. This was despite him having the excellent professional care and the love and support of his family. Shocking proof that we still have a long way to go in the battle against mental illness. In support of this, I’ve joined some friends and we’re swimming ‘laps for life’. Basically seeing how far we can swim before the end of March, and raising money along the way. My target is 15km, which might not seem like much to seasoned swimmers, but for someone who hasn’t swum laps (or really done much cardio) since high school, it’s proving a decent challenge.
