Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because I know from personal and family exeperience how important mental health support is. It's vital that young people can access the support they need, when they need it. Too many young lives are lost to suicide and swimming to raise funds is a small contribution I can make to supporting vulnerable young people across Australia.
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.
