Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
Newfound love of swimming put to a good cause...
Putting our newfound love of swimming to use for a good cause - and one that is so closely aligned with the work we do. Mental health is oh so important!
Sadly, 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.
This small contribution with Laps for Life will hopefully help ensure these vital services are always there.
