Support my swim for youth mental health

I'm swimming laps to raise awareness and funds for Youth Live4Life’s mental health education and youth suicide prevention model (Live4Life). 

Live4Life communities deliver Youth Mental Health First Aid training in schools and the wider community, help to lead conversations about mental health that reduce stigma, and promote young leaders as mental health ambassadors. 

Australia's suicide rate is 40% higher in rural over metropolitan areas. Please support my LAP it UP swim challenge - your donation can help to increase mental health knowledge among secondary school students, teachers, parents, carers and community members in rural and regional areas.

Thank you so much!

LapItUp 2024

Thursday 3rd Oct
When I saw that LapItUp was back on this year I told myself that I was going to do it again. And as this year the time has been extended to 28 days, I’ve made the decision to challenge myself by swimming 2000 laps before it ends.
It’s not always easy to tell when someone is struggling with mental health. They may look fine on the outside but you have no idea what’s going on, on the inside. This year the main reason I’ve chosen to participate in the LapItUp fundraiser, is for my own mental health. 
I’ve struggled a lot throughout the year, dealing with pretty hard things that have made me feel not so great. Swimming has been the only place that has given me a place to worry less and stop all the jumbled thoughts that make things that much harder for me mentally and emotionally. 
Swimming has always and will always be my anchor, and place to relax for a few moments to not worry about what’s going on around me.

Thank you to my Sponsors
