Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. I have lost friends who were way too young to die to Suicide, many friends who attempted it and the Pain and Trauma passed down through Generations that always threatens to take another one of my loved ones, Including me. Talking about it may be uncomfortable, but the silence that comes after will hurt so much more than you could ever imagine, and it hurts forever. I'd rather be uncomfortable than be silent, and if I have to make someone cringe in discomfort to save a live, I will.
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.
