Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. We lost a beautiful young friend some years ago. The overwhelming pain she was in is just so hard to overcome. Any chance to prevent and help is what I can do
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.
