Why I swim
I’m swimming this March — and it won’t be easy. I’m definitely more of a float-along-on-a-kiddy-unicorn than a swimmer! But as challenging as this is for me, it’s nothing compared to how tough it can be living inside the minds of young people struggling with their mental health. Too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim (yes, actual swimming — proper freestyle/breaststroke, no doggy paddling here!) will help ensure 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.
