Simon Ancher Studio

It’s Simon’s second year raising awareness and funds for .aus

This March he’s challenged himself to swim 100km and raise $3,000. One week and 25km to go!!

If you are able to help support this great cause that provides mental health support for young people in need, it would be most appreciated. There’s a link in our bio and stories to Simon’s page: https://www.lapsforlife.com.au/fundraisers/simonancher

Thank you to those that have already donated and all the ‘swimmers’ for their tips 🤍

Su***de remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.

More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million are not getting the support they need. ReachOut provides anonymous, free and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.

I’m taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.

Last year I swam 50km which was a challenge, getting to the end felt like a real accomplishment. This year’s target is 100km. l’ve doubled the target because I wanted to make it a mental challenge as much as a physical. It’s going to be tough but the cause is well worth it and I really hope with your support we can turn some lives around.
