Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim is to help support young people who need someone to talk to when times are hard. I know too many people who have struggled and lost their lives to mental health because the support wasn't there or stigma prevented them from reaching out. This swim is to help raise money for those who need a safe place to chat but to also remind us that so many battle in silence. The biggest show of support to my fundraiser is to call someone in your life and let them know you love 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 myself have had my own battles with mental health and still often struggle to this today. It is amazing organisations like ReachOut, (which I am proud to work for as a Peer Worker) which provide such important support for young people struggling with their mental health. Any from of support is so appreciated!!
Thanks,
Adam :))))
