Why I swim
Today, I'm sharing something deeply personal. Many young people face a fast-paced, judgmental world that offers little pause for reflection. For those in the LGBTQ+ community, simply existing can feel vulnerable. Having access to a safe, private, and stable space makes a significant difference. This is why I'm participating in Laps for Life. ReachOut provides free, anonymous, 100% online support where young individuals can connect, share, and receive understanding at their own pace. I'll be swimming 2km to raise funds and awareness for a service that truly meets young people where they are. If this resonates with you, I would appreciate your support. A donation, a share, or simply keeping this cause in mind helps reinforce the message that young people are valued and supported. Thank you for standing with me and 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.
