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
I'm swimming this March for a number of reasons, the main one being that I myself have struggled and continue to struggle every day with my own mental health battles. Suicide should not be the leading cause of death for people our age, but it is. This journey is personal for me.
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 or just share it around and help more young people get the support they deserve 🫶🏼
