Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
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.

🙌🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 Very strongly advocate for this awareness, today I still suffer but like so many others it stems from early age and I want to support by strengthening the capacity of parents to support their children, recognizing that family relationships are there for love and support whenever they seeking help. My parent single mother helped me through out my life. Amazing cause ❤️
