Why I swim
I was inspired to swim this year because I think the importance of mental health, especially in young people, cannot be emphasised enough. I remember being younger and experiencing challenging times where my mental health was suffering and I felt like I had no answers/no one to reach out to. I love the idea of ReachOut being there as an accessible resource for young people when they feel like they have no where else to turn to. The rate of youth suicide in our is alarming and anything I can do to lower that number I want to try!
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.
