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.

Michael so proud of you for doing this and sharing such an important message of awareness. Although it’s been years, always had so much faith in you as a person and also in your career, even little Michael had such a sweet personality and glad to see you’ve continued to have this growing up, it’s been so lovely to see you achieve big things, you deserve it!
