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 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.

My Updates
First swim - 02/03
Today, I started on my Laps for life goal of 20kms. having swimming being my whole life from as long as I can remember til about the age of 15 I have always felt right in the water. Swimming became easier than anything I could do on land, I could swim 1 km no problem but, get me to run 50m and I was dying. having given up swimming for so long there has always been something missing. Today, getting into the pool after being away for so long and completing a casual swim with no pressure was healing. I completed a 1.5km swim today, I could of definitely gone for further but I thought I’d end it on a high. I’m definitely feeling good and am eager to keep going! ShareThank you to my
