Why I swim
As well as raising money for a very important cause that is close to my heart, I’ve also chosen to swim this March as a challenge to myself - I’m by no means a swimmer at all, so this felt like a good place to start!
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.
