Why I swim

I am swimming this march because I have already seen the effect reach out has at schools, and want to continue to support them. I have been doing laps4life for three years and have enjoyed it every time, and I appreciate the opportunity to do something good.

Swimmer

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.
