Swim for Hope
2021-02-01 08:00 - 2021-02-28 17:00 (America/Denver) | MT
The New Year is upon us and many of us are thinking about our fitness goals for 2021! We are, however, still in a pandemic that has canceled or postponed many of our in-person swimmeets, triathlons, and open water swims. For me, swimming is not just about physical fitness, but the mental health fitness it provides as well. There is nothing more therapeutic than the steady rhythm of your breath as you glide through the water, the high you feel after a solid workout and the joy found gathering with other master swimmers who love this sport as much as you. As Area Director of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), Montana and Wyoming Chapters, it seems only natural to bring these two passions together.
The Mission of the AFSP is to Save Lives and Bring Hope to Those Affected by Suicide. AFSP Montana Chapter was founded in 2001 and has been working to educate Montana about suicide prevention, advocate for legislation that will save lives, and support those who’ve experienced loss or who have lived experience.
