Why I swim
Iām swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure thereās a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. I swim to make other teens feel they are not alone in there battle. Creating a safe space were they wonāt feel alone and have someone to go to when life doesnāt go as planned, I swim for my family and friends whoāve thought they have no one in there fight for survival.?
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.
Iām 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.
