Why I swim
I am swimming this March to raise awareness and support young people that believe they have no where else to turn. Working in Education, I see the impact that healthy support systems have on students wellbeing. I believe this is something that all young people should have access to. You are never alone.
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.
