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'm swimming to save lives
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia of which is 78% young Men.
Right now it is more than ever and increasing over 30% , that’s 1 in 3 people you see on the street, work with, are at you local club or even in your family are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a MILLION (11%!) 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.
177 - is the number of young Men that take their own lives in the west everyday. ( this is only the recorded number 🥲)
Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve. You will be helping and very likely contributing to saving the life of someone you know !
