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.

Swimmer

Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.


I’ve lived through mental health struggles and suicidality, and swimming has been one of the ways I’ve rebuilt my wellbeing over the years.


Right now, more than 1 in 3 young people are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million aren’t getting the support they need.


As a mum, helping protect access to great mental health support feels like one small way I can care for my child’s future.


ReachOut provides free, anonymous, 100% online support 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 help make sure these vital services are always there.


If you can, please donate to my fundraiser. Every contribution helps more young people get the support they deserve. 🤍
