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.
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.

Ali Congrats on your fundraising effort. Amazing your donations exceeded your expectations and the fact you have already completed your laps - you are truly amazing. I lost two friends (one was a really close friend) suicide in my early 20s and a son who has contemplated it’ so I know how important this issue is.

I never do these as stopped believing in large charities after working for them for so long, but I don’t know these guys and it’s a wonderful cause and they are lucky to have your support❤️
Thank you Lally ❤️
