Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
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.

Hi i am swimming this March to create some awarenes and gather donations for Reach Out (for People that are in need) as good mental health is vital for All . exercise can be a great relaxant and stimulates sleep , sleep is important to recover from the days events. give it a try and swimm if you can 5 laps or Ten , just get in the water and walk a few laps too as i do.
