Why I swim
Hi friends, family and colleagues. I’m swimming this March for a cause that’s close to my heart. Too many young lives are being lost to suicide, and I don’t want anyone to feel like they have nowhere to turn. Every lap I swim will help support safe, accessible help for young people when life feels overwhelming, a place to be heard, supported, and reminded they’re not alone. If you’re able, I’d be so grateful if you could donate (any amount helps) or share this post. Let’s turn laps into lifelines. 💙🏊♀️ Thank you for your support.
I'm swimming to save lives
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.
