Why I swim

I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. I have battled my own mental health for over a decade, with one very serious suicide attempt that took a lot of courage for me move forward with life and pick a brighter future for myself, so I am swimming for everybody who is battling their own battle and need somebody to simply tell them - "you are not alone, we see you - love you & want to help you."

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.
