Why I swim
I’m swimming 10km in memory of my Aunt Nina — someone I never had the chance to meet, but whose story has deeply shaped my family and me. She passed away at a young age after a battle with her mental health, and though I never knew her, I feel her absence in the spaces she should have filled. This swim is my way of honoring her life and helping others who may be struggling. I’m aiming to raise $1000 to support mental health awareness and suicide prevention, so that fewer families have to experience the same loss. Every stroke is for Nina, and for 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.
