Welcome to our page! - Our introduction
Our names are Karlee and Archie, and we've joined Laps for Life in order to raise money and awareness for youth mental health in Australia.
As part of the IB diploma program, students must partake in a project for CAS, actively contributing to the community. Not only does this project go towards that requirement but on a deeper level, is something we are both extremely passionate about. Through this project, we wish to educate the broader community about mental health among people our age.
Mental health can often be invisible, and many young people struggle in silence without getting the help that they need. Suicide rates among teenagers have risen in recent years, and is now the leading cause of death of young Australians.
This March, we’re swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
By sponsoring our challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
