Why I swim
I am swimming this March because I believe that everyone deserves the chance to feel supported and valued, especially during challenging times. I am passionate about wanting to make a positive difference in the lives of young people who might be struggling.
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.
Swimming is something I love, and it’s incredible to think that by doing what I enjoy, I can help raise awareness and funds for such an important cause. Come and rally behind me by extending your kindness that will make an impact to a life in need.

Dory would say “keep on swimming, keep on swimming…” Continue to let the seed of compassion grow in your heart. There is never enough of kindness in this world, and to have kindness grow, we first need to be kind. Well done and keep on doing what brings peace and joy to you.
