Why I swim
This March I’m swimming 25km because too many young people feel like they have nowhere to turn when life becomes overwhelming. Mental health is something I’ve faced in my own life, and that experience is why this matters so much to me. I know how heavy things can feel, and I want other young people to have support, understanding, and a safe place to reach out. Every lap I swim is for hope, connection, and reminding someone that they don’t have to face it alone.
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.
