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.
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.

My Updates
Its time to dive in 🏊♀️
OK, so the month of March is here and my Laps for Life challenge has officially begun! I'm so excited to be on this journey and to have found this opportunity to raise funds for such an important cause. A HUGE heartfelt thank you to all my sponsors. I feel so happy and humbled that we reached (actually exceeded! 🥹) the goal of $1,000 for ReachOut. When I'm doing my laps I am thinking of you all and want to do you proud 🫶 Let's dive in and talk about youth suicide prevention. Grace x Share

Hey Grace - amazing charity. People don’t understand how to support people struggling on a chronic level and because they have nowhere to go and no one to talk to they develop in to mental health issues and sometimes that becomes a terminal illness no different from cancer or heart disease. It’s an illness we can prevent becoming terminal, but only if there is support and treatment out there for those people. Our teens are the most vulnerable and if we can help them before it takes over, we can save valuable lives. Sending love and gratitude.
Good luck wit the swim. A wonderful cause.
