Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because I believe having access to resources like “Reach Out” is crucial for sustaining the mental and physical wellbeing of so many young people. Having struggled with my own mental health, and losing people in my life to their internal battles, I want to contribute to a cause that helps people feel safe and supported when they need it most.
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.
