This is my third year taking part in Laps for Life, and I’m now 13 years old. I started swimming for this cause because I wanted to help young people who are struggling with their mental health. Even though I’m still young myself, I know how important it is to have support when life feels overwhelming. Suicide is the leading cause of death among young people in Australia. More than one in three are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million aren’t getting the help they need. That’s heartbreaking, and it’s why I keep coming back to Laps for Life year after year. ReachOut provides free, anonymous, and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share, and get help. These services save lives, and I want to make sure they’re always there for anyone who needs them. Swimming laps might seem small, but every lap I swim is a promise: a promise to keep raising awareness, to keep fundraising, and to keep showing that young people can make a difference too. I’d love your support. By donating to my fundraiser, you’re helping ReachOut continue their vital work and giving more young Australians the chance to feel supported and hopeful about their future. This is my third year, but I’m just getting started. Together, we can make sure no young person has to face their struggles alone.
