Why I swim
Mental Health has been such a big part of my life. My dear Mum has struggled with depression for over 40 years. Many members of my family, including me, have also had bouts of Mental Health problems. More needs to be done & if my small contribution helps a young teen, Im stoked!
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.
