Why I swim
I’m doing Laps for Life in memory of my best friend, who I lost to suicide. Losing someone you love like that changes you, and it’s something I carry with me every day. Alongside that loss, I’ve struggled with my own mental health, so this cause is deeply personal to me. I’m swimming to honour my best friend, to support others who are fighting battles you can’t always see, and to remind people that help, understanding, and compassion truly matter. If this helps even one person feel less alone, then every lap is worth it.
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.
