Why I swim
I’m swimming this March in honour of my closest childhood friend, Amelie, whose life was lost to mental illness. Her loss changed my world forever, and I carry her memory with me in everything I do. No one should have to fight this battle alone, and no family should experience this kind of heartbreak. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn to when life feels overwhelming. I swim for Amelie. I swim for those still fighting. And I swim to help build a future where fewer lives are lost too soon.
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.
