Why I swim

I’m swimming this March because youth mental health is a serious issue that impacts so many young people around the world everyday. I have experienced my own mental health issues and so have many of my friends and family. Therefore, I understand the importance of having support and not being alone during these times. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.

Swimmer

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.
