Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because we lost our work friend Jacob Lacey, a beautiful young man who everybody loved. 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 to remember and honour Jacob and to help young people.
If I swim 400 laps in March can you please donate to ReachOut and help me raise funds to help young people stay alive.
It might have helped my dear work colleague Jacob, who was only 20.
More than 1 in 3 Australian youths 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.
