Why I swim
I’ve faced days so dark I didn’t think I’d ever see the light again — ready to give up on life. I swim now for those too crushed by depression to even try, to remind them they’re not alone and that hope can survive even in the darkest moments.
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.
