Why I swim
Throughout my life, sport has been my mental outlet so I’m swimming this March because too many young lives struggle with mental health and are lost to suicide. It’s tough out there and everyone deserve a chance, especially the youngins. I haven’t done laps since a school swimming carnival a million years ago but let’s give it a crack hey!!! Xx
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.
