Why I swim
I'm swimming this March because there is a lot of mental illness in my family and I lost my youngest sister, due to a mental illness. I see this as a way that I can help other people, who are suffering and need somebody to help them. Swimming laps is also helping me to cope better and to be fitter and healthier.
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.
