Why I swim
In April 2021, my older brother lost his battle with Mental Health, despite the best efforts of a loving family and plenty of professional support. This is a problem that we all need to come together to solve.
I'm swimming for my brother
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 swimming 30km in 31 days to improve my mental and physical health whilst also supporting those who are struggling with their mental health. Please help out by either donating or even joining our team and swimming your own target!
Please note that as I’ll be in New Zealand and away from pools half of March, I’ll be swimming part of my target in February. My goal is still to reach the target within 31 calendar days, minus the time away, aiming to be done by the end of March. Maybe with some bonus (albeit cold & short) alpine swims in New Zealand.
