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. Having lost a close friend in Year 11 to their own mental health battle, having had my own personal journey with mental health and as a teacher working with young people every day I am committed to raising money and awareness to ensure all young people have access to the support they need. Please remember, you are not alone, this is one of many ways of accessing support and I want to ensure all those who need it can access it freely and easily. Please donate to support this worthy cause and help reduce the rate of youth fatality.
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.
