Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. I have been through mental health struggles myself, and want to make sure young people get the support they need if they are struggling. This cause means so much to me and every lap I swim will help raise awareness and fundraise for those who are in need of support.
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.
