Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because many people struggle with Mental Health, and too many young lives are lost to suicide. This swim will go towards encouraging young people to turn to a safe place when life feels overwhelming- whether it be a friend, a free service or professional help.
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.
