Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide, too many young people struggle with mental health. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. It was the day before International Womens Day when I learned about my friends losing their niece and daughter. Her mum Kristen is swimming Laps for Life and I have joined her team. I am Swimming for Elizabeth… for every young woman and young man to feel supported and to live with hope.
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.
