Why I swim
This will be my first time fundraising towards Laps for Life! I have lived experience with mental ill health and know the devastating effects it can have. This cause has very personal meaning and it would mean a lot of I could reach my goal of $1000. Additionally, I loved swimming as a child and will be taking adult swim classes in Jan-Feb to improve my swimming technique and ensure that I can smash out my goal in March. All donations, encouragement and positive vibes are very much appreciated!
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.
