Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Last April, I lost my best friend and cousin - Kaiden, to suicide. Life hasn’t been the same ever since as he was such a shining light. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming so that more special lives aren’t lost like this. I will be joined by my loving supportive partner who will be doing this as a team effort to help us reach a higher goal!
We’re 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.
We’re taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to our fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.
