I’m swimming to save lives+

I have had a long and arduous battle with mental personally, from misdiagnosis to addiction- I feel for the wider community and my close family in their struggle.

 I have lost many a beautiful soul to suicide and I wish to swim to promote dedication, resilience, consistency, to the recovery of awareness, community of mental health struggles and addition that unfortunately claim so many lives each hour/day/month/year.

 I’ve lost many a friend - close friends, family and extended family to suicide and would appreciate any support towards my goals. Either way, I will push forward for all those that we’ve lost- mine or yours.

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.

We're taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to our fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.

Thank you for your time and investing in me. (Once upon a time- state swimmer, squad swimmer,avid pool play girlie)
