Why I swim
When I was 15, my 14 year old brother died from suicide. Despite the years, my parents, sister (then 11), baby brother (then 4) and myself are still impacted by it to this day. I'm not a swimmer but I’m swimming in Laps for Life in March to try and make a difference in a young person's life and know there is support for them.
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.
