Why I swim
I’ll be swimming 50km across the month in memory of two very special people in my life — my cousin, who was always full of life with the most adventurous spirit, and my Poppa, who never hesitated to put others before himself. Their love, energy and kindness continue to inspire me every day.
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 raise awareness of mental health and help those struggling to know where to start.
