Youth Live4Life encourages participation in swimming fundraising event

Youth Live4Life's LAP it UP is a fitness and fundraising challenge to swim laps for youth mental health awareness and suicide prevention in rural and regional communities.

The swimming fundraising event takes place over 15 days from 1st—15th October 2023 with all funds raised going to Youth Live4Life.

Laps can be as long or short as you like and can be done by swimming in the ocean, in a 50 metre Olympic-style pool or even a wading pool in your own backyard.

Youth Live4Life shares “as long as you're moving, making a splash & counting your laps – you're in.”

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

Live4Life is led by young people but involves everybody in the community – parents, teachers, sport coaches, health professionals and community leaders.

Youth Live4Life is a registered health promotion charity, bringing together rural and regional communities to improve youth mental health and wellbeing.
