Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. We miss those people dearly, and feel the full affects of the death, even if we don't even realise the tragedies that occur everyday.
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.My Swim Progress

Lylah, it’s wonderful what you are doing in March. I’m really happy to contribute to your efforts, but I mostly want you to be kind to yourself and look after yourself. Go at a pace that suits you. From Elizabeth’s granny (her mum’s mother)
