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.
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.

Great cause Meg and I’m very impressed with your learning to swim later in life (if I recall that story correctly) and having taught kids and adults to swim during my uni years I and across the effort and overcoming what may not feel so natural to trust your own buoyancy - enjoy the splash
Inspirational Meg!
