Why I swim
I swim every March for Laps For Life to help raise money for an excellent service for young people, ReachOut, that helps save lives. Youth mental health supports like ReachOut are so important and are often under-funded, and we lose many young people to suicide every year. Every donation helps.
I'm swimming to help prevent youth suicide
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.
Laps for Life is becoming an annual activity for me after starting last year as it feels great to push myself and raise money for the important work that ReachOut does. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.
