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 be able to reach out and seek support . Knowing young people struggle with many different parts of life is sad and hopefully they manage to be courageous and ask for help . A young friend recently found life too hard after a heartbreaking event in her early life . Every lap I’ll be thinking of her and all those going through similar hell .
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.
