I'm swimming this March to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

This March, I'm swimming to support youth mental health in Australia.   

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.

By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide and providing the mental health support urgently need.

All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing!

Any donation (no matter how much) helps and is gratefully received :)

Logging another 4.5k swim

It's great to be back at the pool today after ex-Cyclone Alfred halted our swim for a week.  I'm logging another 4.5k over the last two swims, bringing my tally up to 7.5k and it's only mid March!  

A 3km start

Completed my first swim for the month of March and Laps for life.  I powered on to do a 3km swim this morning and glad to say I'm well on track to complete a solid 12Km by the end of March!  woop woop!

Diving in for my 1st swim

Laps for Life and my 12km swim starts today the 1st March, ending on the 31st.  Game on!  I'm diving in tomorrow to start my swim.
A huge shout out and heartfelt thanks to Dipika and Adriana for their generous donations, towards the prevention of youth suicide.  
Please continue to donate until the end of March.  I'm almost a third of the way to my fundraising goal of $1,000 with a month to go.  
All donations go directly to Laps for Life and Reachout, providing youth with vital support when they need it most. 

In training

In training for my March Swim.  And finishing off a 1700m session in good timing :).  Together with my mid week swim, I'm feeling fit and ready to tackle the 12km that awaits me in March :)
