Why I swim
I am swimming 30km this March to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention, supporting the important work of ReachOut Australia and Lifeline Australia. This cause matters deeply to me because mental health struggles can affect anyone, especially silently, and no one should feel like they have to face their battles alone. Every lap I swim represents hope, strength, and a reminder that support is always possible. By challenging myself physically, I hope to contribute to a future where more people feel seen, supported, and encouraged to keep going. My goal of raising $1000 is not just about the number, but about making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most
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.
