Why I swim
I am swimming for our Eli, only 11 years old and so sweet! Each stroke an acknowledgement of the worries he keeps inside. He lives each day loved by us all, but darkness surrounds him, and the system ignores. Each lap will be dedicated to his plight, and the plight of so many other young people, and to acknowledge the joy of every day they are with us. We honour you Eli, for your strength and all of your might. We love you and will be your light.
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.
