Why I swim
This year I’m swimming to raise awareness and money for those affected by mental health. As someone who lives with mental health challenges and has lost someone close to suicide, this means more to me than I can put into words. I want others to know, we can fight this together. You’re not alone <3
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.
