Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Too many people I love, have lost loved ones to suicide. Too many people can’t access the vital support they need, when they need it most. This needs to change. 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
This month I’m swimming my most laps yet to raise money for suicide prevention!
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 help ensure these vital mental health services are always there - because mental health has impacted so many people I love and care about, and too often, people can’t access the support they need when they need it most.
Swimming has been a huge support for me in times of struggle, it’s given me space to breathe and process. This will be my biggest month of swimming yet - and this time, not only will I be swimming for myself, I’ll be swimming for the young people who need timely access to life-saving support.
Suicide prevention is a cause very close to my heart. Too many people have watched their loved ones slip through the cracks and lose their lives far too soon. That shouldn’t be the reality.
If you’re able to donate, you’ll be helping more young people get the support they deserve. Any contribution, big or small, would mean so much. Thank you for supporting this important cause
