Why I swim
I’m swimming this March in memory of our clever, talented, beautiful, fierce, and open-hearted niece, and because too many young lives are needlessly lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn.
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.
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.
