Why I swim
I’m swimming this March in honour of my nephew Jaydon who we sadly lost 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. To my beautiful nephew Jaydon we all love you with all our hearts loved and missed everyday 💙💙💙 I know you will be with me by my side in this a smile on your face helping out others in need We love you with all our hearts 💙💙💙
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.

Hey my friend 💛 I’ve been thinking about you and what you’re doing, and I just wanted to say how proud I am of you. I know this isn’t just a fundraiser for you — it’s something deeply personal to you and family. That you’re turning something so painful into something that helps others is incredibly powerful. It says so much about your heart and the love you have for people. I’m cheering you on every step of the way. What you’re doing is brave, important, and really beautiful. Sending you so much love. 💙
