Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help raise money and awareness to support young people who are battling mental illness. As someone with lived experience, it is a cause very close to my heart and swimming was one of the things that helped me calm my mind and brings me joy. Please donate as much or as little as you wish, every dollar counts and remember to check in on your friends and reach out for support, it is a sign of strength.
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.
