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. 19 years ago, I lost my brother and my partner in crime/life 💔 My sweet brother was only 26 years of age… I have had to navigate this world without him and I cannot tell you in words, how difficult this journey has been 🥺 My love for him is infinite and I honestly hope, that one day, we can reduce the lives lost to suicide, to below 11 youth per year. It will still be 11 young lives too many but considering the lives we currently lose, in my lifetime, 11 would be what I ask of the Universe ✨🫶🏼💕
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.
