Why I swim

It’s heartbreaking how many young lives are lost to suicide, hence this March I want to turn my weekly swimming into something more meaningful. I hope to play a small part to help young people find the understanding and support they deserve when life feels overwhelming. 💙

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.
