Why I swim
I am swimming this March for my brother Hudson who lost his life to suicide last year. Too many lives are lost due to suicide, and too many people suffer in silence. Each lap will help to make sure there is always a safe place for young people to turn to when life feels overwhelming.
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.
