Why I swim
Join me as I aim to swim 31k’s in 31 days this March to raise money for Reach Out Australia. I hope that by raising funds more young people can access the services that they provide when they need it most, now and well into the future.
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.

Join me as I aim to swim 31k’s in 31 days this March to raise money for Reach Out Australia.
I’m challenging myself to swim a little bit further to help a few more people this year and would love for you sponsor me.
I hope that by raising funds to help Reach Out Australia more young people can access the services that they provide when they need it most, now and well into the future.
I have been blown away by the support of my friends and family who dug deep with donations and their acts/words of encouragement to get me through my past laps for life and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together this year 🤩
I’ll basically be in the water all month, so feel free to come for a dip and do a lap or 10. Alternatively I’ll never say no to a cheer squad or a bag of mixed lollies from the pool canteen 🤣
Thank you so much for your support, it is truly appreciated.
From the pool,
