Why I swim
I’m swimming in this March because I am proof that getting help works. I’m a survivor of multiple attempts, my first being before I was 16. Every single day something happens and I experience something that makes me grateful to be alive another day. Thankful for the failures that led me to here and very thankful for my support as a young person who could not see any light at the end of the tunnel.
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.
