I'm diving in this March to prevent youth suicide

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.

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

March done and dusted

This month I challenged myself to swim 20km and raise $500. I raised $1000. I did realise how much of a struggle to swim up and down the pool. The loneliness did help me challenge and reflect my mental health

Thank you to my
