Why I swim
I lost a friend last year and wanted to do something to honour her. I know many survivors who have dealt with mental health issues including myself. I want people to know they’re loved and i also enjoy swimming since it’s something that makes me happy
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.
