Why I swim
When I was 15 I did everything to try be happy, changed jobs, set goals, had friend and family support. But I was still so down. I decided to work my ass off, save 20k and give Australia a go. I am coming on 8 years as an Aussie, live in sunny coast and realise being in the cold of England was not good for me. Mental health is no joke, especially at a young age. It takes power to acknowledge and overcome your personal struggles, and I support you, and urge you to get out of the comfort zone.
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.
