Why I swim
In 2025, my family lost two strong men to suicide. This March I swim for them. I am also swimming for all others who are struggling with their mental health, know somebody who is struggling with mental issues, or have lost somebody to suicide. Check in on your mates, check in with yourself, and make mental health a priority.
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.
