Why I swim
I am swimming the Laps for Life this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Mental health is a very important subject for me and is something I feel extremely passionate about. Every day, one young person dies in Australia from suicide. I want to raise money for families to be able to access support when life feels overwhelming. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people. Any and all donations are much appreciated! 🫶🏼
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.
