Why I swim
I’m swimming because too many young lives are lost to suicide. On a personal level, I am swimming because I have loved ones who struggle with SI and see people every week in my job, at headspace, wondering if the world would be better without them - it would not! Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. Any donations mean the world, thank you xx
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.
