Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because I’m passionate about helping young people navigate times of poor mental health. Access to mental health services should be possible for everyone, and I hope that I can make a difference in someone’s life. I have lived times where I felt there was no way out of how low my mental health was, and couldn’t be more grateful for the healthcare professionals and my community who got me through. It’s my goal to contribute to this positive impact for other young people 🩷 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.
