Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
Swimming 100km for Young People’s Mental Health
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.
I’m swimming 100km this March for Laps for Life to support ReachOut, which provides free, anonymous online mental health support for young people across Australia. I’m taking part to help make sure these services are always there for anyone who needs them.
