Why I swim

I’m swimming this March because too many lives are lost to suicide. I personally know people who have struggled with mental health and I too have had my own struggles in the past. Every meter I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for people to turn when life feels a bit out of control and overwhelming. I hope my small steps/laps have a profound impact on someone put there. For those here reading this, I am proud of the person you are. You are incredible and the world is blessed to be graced with your presence each and every day. Take a breath and take things one step at a time. You've got this

Swimmer

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.
