Why I swim

I’m swimming this March because I want to raise awareness for the many young Australians who we unfortunately lose to suicide every month. In Australia one third of teens experience depressing and suicidal thoughts. I want to do my part to make a difference in these young peoples life's.

Swimmer

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.
