Why I swim
I come from a family with a strong genetic component of mental health issues, where perhaps the older generation did not choose the most appropriate ways of managing it. I am hoping that by raising funds for the youth of today, they can grow up with the best support out there they can get for their mental health, and know that there is always help available. thanks for reading
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.
