Why I swim
This March I am making time and choosing to swim for all the young people I know. I’m swimming because too many young lives are lost to suicide. I am really passionate about youth Mental Health and feel we need more easily accessible spaces for people to access on going support. I am swimming for my community, my family and friends and their children n hopes of raising awareness of youth issues, of where to find help, to say you are not alone and to raise funds to support this service - ReachOut. 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.
