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. I am not a swimmer so its going to take a looong time. It is such a worthy cause though and if you are someone that has lost someone to this then you will understand why it is important. If you are not someone who has lost someone to this then you are so lucky to have not experienced the devastation it leaves behind. Any donation is received with gratitude and a heartfelt thank you in advance.
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.
