Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide and too many young people struggle every day with depression and anxiety. My goal is to both bring awareness within my community to how prevalent this struggle is but to also raise funds to directly benefit an organisation working to make a real difference in this area.
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.
