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.

Amaya, your wonderful grandma has told me all about what you’re doing and it just touched my heart. It is very rare for someone your age to be so selfless and have such a big heart for others. I think what you’re doing is beautiful and if there were more human beings like you in the world, it would be an infinitely better place. You are amazing. Keep shining your light.
