Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because between 2020-2022 our children were locked down in their homes, unable to see their friends, unable to go to school, unable to play footy, dance, or play the drums because it was decided their lives - although not at risk - were expendable to save others. This has left many young people feeling socially adrift in a sea of isolation and despair. I will not forget what the children endured and I implore others to remember their childhood sacrifice also.
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.
