Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Including the beautiful life of one of my best friends, Elizabeth. Supporting this fundraiser won’t bring her back, but it will honour Elizabeth, and prevent anyone else from experiencing this type of loss and pain. My swimming will also help the people who are struggling, like Elizabeth did, to be able to receive support when they need it.
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.
