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 is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia and as someone working in public health, this statistic is more than just a number to me.More than 1 in 3 young Australians are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million aren’t getting the support they need.
That’s why I’m taking part in Laps for Life to support ReachOut Australia. They provide free, anonymous and fully online support so young people can access help when life feels overwhelming.
If you’re able to, please consider donating to my fundraiser. Every contribution helps ensure young people have a safe place to turn when they need it most. 💛
