Why I swim

I’m swimming 15km this March for Laps for Life to raise money for youth mental health — a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart. I have lived experience with mental health challenges, and through my work as a mental health nurse I see firsthand how important early support and accessible services are for young people. No one should have to struggle alone. I’m doing what I can to help, one lap at a time.

Swimmer

Suicide 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.
