Why I swim
This March I’m swimming in Laps for Life to support and raise awareness for youth mental health. Mental health has been part of my story since I was young, and when things get tough, I tend to withdraw and isolate. This swim is my way of gently challenging that pattern and choosing connection over isolation. I know how powerful it is for young people to feel seen, supported, and reminded they’re not alone. Every lap I swim is for them, and for anyone who has struggled in silence. If you’d like to support this cause, any donation or share makes a difference. Thank you 😇🫶🏻
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.
