Why I swim
I’m swimming this March as someone who has struggled with mental health issues and could have used the services provided when I was facing challenges. There are far too many young lives lost to suicide so I want to do my part. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people who are struggling to get support and turn to when they need help the most!
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.
