Why I swim
This March, I will be swimming 5 km to raise awareness and funds for mental health. Mental health has affected me personally, and many people I love, including my aunty Katie, who tragically passed away on December 31, 2016. I aim to raise $500 to support mental health resources and help those who need it most. Every stroke in the pool is in memory of loved ones and in support of those still fighting.
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.
