Why I swim

We all know someone lost to suicide, but when it’s someone so young, it’s heartbreaking. Every lap I swim is for the young lives we’ve lost, and for the ones we can still save. I’m swimming my laps to help change that. Please donate (its tax deductable), challenge or join me.

Swimmer

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.
