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 for loved ones who have lost their mental health battles, and the ones who are still here fighting ? Any support- whether it be in the form of donations, sharing my page, or encouraging words- will be greatly appreciated. Or use this as a reminder to check in with someone you love and have a yarn with them ?
I'm swimming for loved ones who have passed, and ones who are still here fighting
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.
