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
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 doing this for loved members of my family and friendgroup that have been lost to suicide, and those who struggle with their mental health, and I think of them as I swim. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.My Swim Progress
