Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
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.

Thank you to my first 2 donators 💖 The anonymous donations are 100% anonymous so I really can’t tell who donates when anon is selected - but regardless, whoever you are, thank you so much! 💕 First laps down - let’s go 🫶✨🐠🏊♀️ rainy old night but feeling much stronger than last year. 36 laps was much more easier than my first year trying this out. Feeling lucky to be able to fundraise and I’m grateful for your support 🩵 Share
