Why I swim

I’m swimming this March for my sister-in-law, Andrea. For over a decade, she struggled with her mental health. Andie would have been 43 years old on 20 March 2026. Every lap I swim is for her and will help make sure there's a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.

Swimmer

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.
