Why I swim
This March, I’ll be swimming 40km for Laps for Life in honour of my beautiful Mum, Sandra, and my cousin Ellen, who we sadly lost to mental illness. They were both loved by so many people, and the memories and time I shared with them will always be cherished. This swim is a small way for me to honour the incredible people they were. Every lap will be for them, and for anyone who is struggling in silence right now. No one should have to face those battles alone. By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping ensure more people can access vital mental health support and have a safe place to turn when life feels overwhelming. If you’re able to donate or share, I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you for helping me honour two very special people and for supporting a cause that means so much to me.
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.
