Please help me to prevent youth suicide. We're losing too many wonderful young Australians.
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
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, 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.
Goal reached!!
Today I accomplished my goal. Today I reached 21 KMS, 1 km more than I had hoped. 8 visits to the pool and I've reached my goal. The pool was closed for 5 days due to Cyclone Alfred and the last 2 days I've swim with injuries sustained from tripping over a dog lead (splat) onto concrete 😕. Fortunately nothing broken (except my pride) and a bruised knee and extremely sore wrist.2nd effort
Off to a good start
Today I swam 2.5 km (that's 50 laps x 50 metre pool). Very pleased with my effort on my first day swimming for Reach out - Laps for Life. Enjoyed the lovely conditions, comfortable water temperature, sunny although a little windy. Next week's forecast is rain 🌧️ thanks to TC Alfred I guess??My Swim Progress
