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. This is such a important cause. With social media making bullying easier for horrible humans that cause these young angels to take their own lives to escape hits hard as I was bullied as a child. Please donate 🙏 any small contributions would be appreciated. As a token of thanks a small gift will come your way..please advise postal address so I can send gift after donation
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.
