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.
Laps for Life — Year Three
This is my third consecutive year participating in Laps for Life.
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia. More than one in three are experiencing mental health challenges, and many still don’t access support early enough.
ReachOut provides free, anonymous, online mental health support for young people who might not feel safe asking for help elsewhere.
If you’re able to donate, it genuinely makes a difference. If not, check in on someone. Start a conversation.
Small actions compound. This year, I am swimming again.
