Why I swim
Over 75% of mental health issues occur before the age of 25, while suicide continues to cause the largest loss of life of young people in Australia.
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.

At just 15 and 16, you’re taking on a challenge that most adults wouldn’t dare attempt — 100km powered by nothing but determination, courage, and heart. That alone is remarkable. But the fact that you’re doing it for charity, to lift others up, makes it truly inspiring.
