Why I swim
As someone who had a pretty turbulant upbringing on only now getting the support I need for my own mental health, I know the benefits to providing these services to young people in some of the most pivotal times in their early lives. I hope if more young people get the support they need earlier in their lives we will see a better future for all as a result.
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.
