I'm swimming to save lives
- 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.
Done for 2025
That’s a wrap for me this year, if it wasn’t for holidays I could easily have added another 10km to my goal. always next year. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and I’ll up the ante next year. very proud of my first Laps for Life. Happy to be raising money for a fantastic cause.🎉❤️Update
Hello friends just an update on how I’m tracking for my March swim. I’m swimming 1.5km a day and actually swam my first 2km swim in a long time and I can’t wait to get this show on the road . Anyone who would like to donate it would be greatly appreciated and remember it’s for a great cause. My 2 daughters lost friends who were way too young. Thank you for all my support so far.❤️My Swim Progress
