Why I swim
I’m swimming to honour someone very close to one of our family members, and to support every young person who might be struggling silently. Laps for Life is a reminder that even the smallest strokes can move us forward, and that no one should ever feel alone in deep water. Every lap I swim is for hope, for strength, and for the message that life is worth fighting for. If my strokes help even one young person find support, safety, or a lifeline, then every metre is worth 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.
