Why I swim
This March, I'm swimming laps for life. I’m wanting to raise awareness about mental health and remind everyone that they’re not alone. I've struggled with my mental health, and it's scary. But when I'm in the water, all the grief and pain gets lighter. I want others to know that it's okay to ask for help and that support is out there. Every stroke I take is for everyone fighting their battle.
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.
