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.

What you’re doing takes real courage. Every stroke you take isn’t just about distance in the water—it’s about reaching people who feel like they’re drowning in silence. You’re choosing to show up, to push through discomfort, and to stand for something that truly matters. There will be moments when it feels tough, when your body gets tired or your mind tells you to stop—but remember why you started. You’re swimming for hope. You’re swimming for the conversations that save lives. You’re swimming for the people who need to know they’re not alone. Even one lap makes a difference. Even one dollar raised, one person inspired, one story shared—it all matters more than you know. Keep going. You’re stronger than you think, and what you’re doing has the power to change lives.
