Just keep swimming

  • 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.

I'm doing this challenge for a friend who passed away in 2013.

FINAL DAY

The last session I've done for LapsforLife was poetically completed at the pool I used to go for my school swimming carnivals! Warringah Aquatic Centre brought back many memories, and the smell of chlorine stayed on me all day but I'm really happy and proud that I've achieved my target distance. Thank you to everyone for your support and donations! I'm definitely hoping to participate in the future.

Official Day 3

Another 10 laps! Wearing my swim cap and goggles actually shaved 5 minutes off my total swimming time :)

Official Day 2

Another 10 laps, stay tuned for a special visit to a professional chlorinated lap pool soon :) 

Official Day 1

Day one done, with 10 laps logged officially! Only 3 more sessions to hit my goal and less than $600 to my donation goal already :)

Thank you!

I haven't even logged any progress and I've been overwhelmed with support! Thank you so much and I'll be posting ASAP when I start swimming :) There will be pictures of the beach pool posted and everything
