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.

Swimmer
My why? 
Well after 10 years working with young minds in education, I know how vital youth mental health support is.

I believe that no child or teenager should feel like they’re alone in their struggles, so swimming these laps is my small way of helping ensure mental health support is there for them.

I have also created a team, Head Above Water, that I encourage any one and everyone to join and help support this cause. Every day, another young person in Australia loses their life to suicide.

So please dive in this March to raise funds for ReachOut, and you’ll make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

It’s free to sign up and with every lap you swim, you’ll help save lives.

Every lap is for them. 💙
