Why I swim
Whenever I have struggled with stress & mental health, swimming has been my safe space. With Laps for Life, I can put my swimming towards an amazing cause, by helping to create safe spaces and support for youth who are struggling with their mental health. Every dollar I raise will go towards helping the incredible team at Reachout do their job in supporting young people all around Australia.
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.
