Why I swim
Anyone that’s knows me will know I can’t swim for the life of me. I do however know what it’s like to struggle to find available support for my family when they needed it most, a struggle I hope no one has to go through but I know many will. To raise funds and awareness I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. Help me in getting behind our future and supporting the youth when they need it the most.
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.
