Why I swim
This is the second year I'm supporting this charity ReachOut Australia that help prevent suicide in young adults. As some of you may know this charity in particular plucks at my own heart strings after losing my daughter to suicide 💔. RIP Yazmyn So your support in helping prevent suicide in young adults means more than I can say in words 🙏💙 I’m swimming this March not just because I want to help by giving something back but 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 & in loving memory of my daughter Yazmyn
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.
