Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because I love the work that ReachOut does to provide relevant, non-cringe resources for young people to build coping skills and strategies that help prevent suicide. As the Auburn U/10's swimming club champion of 1986, I thought it was time I pulled my speedos on to help amplify the work ReachOut does for kids when life feels overwhelming!
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.
