I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my fifth year diving
- in for youth mental health
This is my fifth year of swimming for Laps for Life. Since 2020 I've raised over $8,000 and I'm hoping to raise at least $1,000 again this year.
I'm swimming to remember my beautiful water baby, who should have turned 30 this year if he hadn't lost his battle with depression.
I'm swimming in hope that other families won't have to face the pain of losing someone they love to suicide.
I'm swimming to look after my own mental health - being in the water helps dissolve the daily stresses and keeps me in the moment, appreciating the good things in my life despite my losses.
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.
Thank you and much love.

Oh Jill. What a wonderful and powerful way to honour your beautiful son. I lost my big brother and two close friends to suicide. The ripple effect is never ending. 5 years and $8000 - I'm so inspired by your strength and commitment! It's an honour to contribute and support you on your mission. Wishing you all the very best!
