I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my second 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.

Let’s do it again!

Last year laps for life was a huge part of helping me refocus on the activities I love and the people I love. March on the Sunshine Coast was one of the rainy seasons we had. Getting up every morning at 4:30am and walking to the pool and swimming with one of my best mates was some of the most fun I had had in a long time. 

It also helped me stay focus and get the distance to be able to go and Swim in Fiji. Whilst this year I have no grand overseas competition I am registered for some of the World Series Ocean Swims. Noosa - 2 swims the 1km and the 3km and the Mooloolaba Mile (distance and swims have yet to be determined).

I stopped swimming once I moved. Last year I got back into swimming in a big way. Now I even teach it! So, I’m dedicating this years challenge to those who are finding their passions again 💞
