Why I swim
This is the 3rd year I'm jumping in to raise money for a very worthy cause. Mental health was never spoken about when I was young, you were shunned if you had troubles. Now there are so many resources available to help, if only I had it when I was younger. If my fundraising results in even 1 parent not coming home to a lifeless child, it would all be worthwhile. I want every kid to be able to get the help they need when they need it.
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.
