Why I swim

Im swimming this march because there has been so many young people in my life who struggle or are struggling with their mental health. I understand how it feels to be alone and I want to share the love and help someone where I can because it is ok not to be ok and it’s ok to ask for help - which is something I struggled doing for a long time but can confidently do now because I had loving people to help me 💙

Swimmer

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.
