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.

In March, I will swim in honour of my beautiful brother, who I miss every single day. My heart is forever broken into a million pieces, from the moment I wake until I go to sleep. I will never get over finding him and losing him. Life will never be the same. If I can help save even one life through this program, then his loss will not be meaningless. He was enough. He didn’t deserve to feel that leaving us this way was his only option. Forever in my heart ❤️
