Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because I have seen firsthand how mental health struggles can affect the people I care about deeply. Watching friends fight their own battles has shown me how vital it is to have a safe and supportive place to turn to when life feels overwhelming. Every lap I swim is my way of standing with them and striving to make a real difference so fewer young lives are lost to suicide.
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.
