Why I swim
It's that time of year again, I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide, so I’m back in the pool for a good cause. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. Please help by supporting me get to my goal. Even just a couple of bucks will help.
I'm swimming to help 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. And to have fun and feel fitter. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.My Swim Progress
