Tuesday Talks with Turts | Luke Richards - Ultra-Marathon Open Water Swimmer

  • Live webinar via Zoom Online Australia (map)

Join 100 words mate to mate founding member Craig Turton (Turts) each Tuesday at 8pm for ‘Tuesday Talks with Turts’ and a weekly special guest.

This week, Turts chats to Ultra-Marathon Open Water Swimmer Luke Richards from Swim 4 Recovery

Luke is an ambassador for Movember and Beyond Blue, where he openly shares his journey living with Mental Illness.

He has recovered from addiction, depression and survived suicide attempts.

Over 6 years ago, Luke’s life was on a singular trajectory, caught in the cycle of addiction with no hope of recovery. With the help of many people, Luke did recover and has been blessed with an amazing life.

In 2019 Luke completed the Port to Pub 25k ultra-marathon, swimming for 10 hours and 21 minutes to reach the finish line.

In August 2020 he starts his journey to complete the ‘Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming’ starting with the English Channel.

Luke swims to show people what they can achieve in recovery.
