Why I swim
When you feel how far grief reaches through a community, you're reminded that everyone is carrying something, even if you can't see it. You're also shown how people are connected, no matter how strong or distant the ties may seem. We're brought together, even if only briefly, to share the pain, the joy, the laughter, and the sorrow. With every metre I swim this month, I hope to bring awareness to youth mental health and remind someone that they are seen, they are needed, and they are loved. There is always someone who will listen, and always someone who wants to help, no matter the situation. I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide.
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.
