Why I swim
I'm not much of a swimmer, but I am willing to give it a shot this March to help raise money towards helping young Australians' mental health. I will be swimming 20 kilometres over the course of March, while simultaneously commencing a 4-week clinical placement in Hobart, Tasmania. As the stats have shown, more than 1 in 3 young Aussies are battling with mental health, and I want to contribute to bringing the number of lives lost down to zero. I will be posting my swims on Strava @Jaden Flett. I really appreciate the enormous generosity I've seen already. Sharing this cause with others is just as good as donating! Thank you all.
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.
