Why I swim
I'm swimming this March because I want to show people that there are other paths to take. The path of sport, of well-being, will always be a good one. Swimming helps you disconnect your mind and relax in the water; your body recovers from a long or difficult day. Often, we come out more energized than we thought when we got in. The first step is usually hard, but believe me, once you take it, you won't regret it. Don't be afraid or ashamed; you're always welcome.
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.
