Why I swim
I am swimming this year in memory of my Uncle Charles who our family tragically lost last March to suicide. Our family are still in shock, I hope that funds raised may help someone who is struggling, to feel less alone. It is an honour too to be part of Laps for Elise, although I never had the opportunity to meet Elise she was a friend to my dad. I know she was a kind soul and an amazing swimmer and it is an honour to be part of the team swimming in her memory.
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.
