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.
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.

My Updates
In honour of Brandon
In the middle of this challenge I received the devastating news that an old friend committed suicide. This tragedy has required me to take time off from my swimming challenge. But I can back at it today. This challenge is all the more important and all the more meaningful. The remainder of my challenge will be in honour of Brandon 🩷 ShareThank you to my
