Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because it helps me regulate my own mental health. I hope that every lap I swim will help make sure 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.

A very worthy cause Jen and if we could fund this area properly, there may be little need for a Toxicologist 😉 and I could retire. Thanks for doing this!
