Why I swim
Now I’ve started this swimming thing...I can help by raising awareness and support for young people who need care. I'm taking part in Laps for Life to help raise funds and awareness for youth mental health. Every lap I swim is for a young person who needs support, someone who feels overwhelmed, or someone who just needs to know they're not alone.
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.
