Why do i swim
As some of you know, I’ve been on a weight loss journey since November 2025. So far, I’ve lost just over 65kgs to build a healthier life for myself and my family 💪✨ As part of that journey, I’ve taken up swimming and for the month of March I’ve pledged to swim a minimum of 10kms 🏊♂️🌊 — all while raising awareness for youth suicide prevention, a cause incredibly close to my heart. Having experienced that kind of darkness personally, this means more to me than I can put into words. I have always loved swimming. It has helped me silence the negative and reset my head for as long as I can remember. The pool is one of my safest places. :)
We’re 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.
We're taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to our fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.
Our Impact
So far We’ve raised $535 to provided 133.8325 young people experiencing mental health difficulties with vital support.
