Why I swim
I am swimming for Laps for Life 2026 in memory of my cousin John, who tragically took his own life, as well as for many others I’ve known who have struggled with mental health. Throughout this March, I’ll be raising funds and awareness for the charity, in hopes of bringing more support and breaking down the stigma around mental illness. Every lap is for them
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.
