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
Suicide isn't a conscious choice...
This month I'm swimming 10kms for youth suicide it will probs kill me but I'm committed! See that's the difference with suicide your not wanting to end your life, your just trying to end the enormity of your suffering and ending your life becomes a logical solution. Let's give kids and in turn adults, the tools they need to understand the multitude of solution. Believe me when I say: You can get past this, you can have an extraordinary life, this will become a blip on your timeline. DM a 🧡 if you need help getting resources, Ive got you.
