Why I swim
I’m doing this fundraiser in honour of my beautiful friend who tragically took her own life. Losing her has left a hole in so many hearts, and I want to turn that heartbreak into something that can help others who are struggling the way she was. This fundraiser is my way of keeping her memory alive, supporting mental-health services, and giving hope to people who feel like they have none. I want her story to make a difference, to remind others that they’re not alone, and to ensure that something good grows from the pain of losing someone we all loved so deeply. 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.
