Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because 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. As an ex-swimmer this is the perfect way to raise funds and awareness, every sentence, lap and cent counts!
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 Updates
Key takeaways!
From this fundraiser i personally have one key takeaway. All the money you have helped me to raise has been absolutely amazing in supporting young people in crisis. But what we should all take part in is speaking up and giving loved ones help when needed. For one this costs nothing, this money we have raised is to help people who do reach out but there are still people who don’t. So, speak up, ask ‘are you okay’ and be prepared for the answer to be ‘no’. Thank you for your support! Share
