Why I swim
I am hanging up my walking shoes and returning to frog feet mode. In 2021 I convinced kind supporters to contribute just over $300 towards my efforts. Lap swimming to me is therapeutic, but due to personal reasons I fell out of love over the past years and took up dusty trail hikes. This year I will be making an effort to get back to it and with your help raise R500 for ReachOut Australia. I have also increased my laps total by 5km and will put off henna hair colouring, gardening projects, kombucha brewing until after March. Your support will fund in‑depth research and more responsive services—so support isn’t limited to checklists, but tailored to young people’s lives. Join me by donating or sharing.
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.
