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.
It's hard being a kid nowadays
It's a difficult privilege being a parent.
It's not even as if you can parent based on your own upbringing as things are so different now. Reachout provides help to those who need someone different and anonymous to talk to.
Please introduce this important subject to your kids when appropriate.
Thanks for sponsoring me.
Arnie
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.
