Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because I’ve seen firsthand how important mental health support truly is. Everyone deserves a safe space to speak, to be heard and to feel supported without judgement. If swimming a few laps can help create that space for someone, it’s 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.
