Why I swim
I'm swimming this March to raise funds for youth suicide prevention, in memory of Bryn Hendry-Russell, who tragically took his life in 2003 at the age of 16. He was the son of my dear friend Janine Hendry, and the son of Darren Russell who I worked with at the time.
I am swimming for laps-4-life to raise funds for youth suicide prevention in memory of Bryn Hendry-Russell, the son of my friend Janine Hendry, who tragically took his life in 2003at the age of 16.
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.
