Why I swim
I’m swimming this March as a way to get fit, honour the memory of my Sister Christine who died recently. I was motivated to import my fitness by support a charity which I feel strongly about. I have young Nieces and Nephews and I’m are of their struggles in this fast crazy world. I know too many young lives are lost to suicide. Therefore ever lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. I’m a nurse and understand mental health is not well understood and needs more awareness and priority.
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.
