Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
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.

I didn't know your story, you always seem so confident, I have a son who has suffered severe depression and anxiety over the years who has come through the otherside as you have who is also ASD not that a diagnosis matters, but you are an inspiration to so many in our community, well done to you on always showing up!
Go Mr Brad and Miss Emie. You're doing wonderful things to help the initiative.
