Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because behind that smiling picture of my mine was deep sadness and struggles, though many people would never have known. I’ve been lucky to have safe spaces to turn to throughout my life and I want to help to make sure young people have that too!
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.
