Why I swim
Let me introduce to you 'The Blue Bottles.' Myself and my dear friends Suzi, Pauline and Gay are swimminng in this years Laps for Life challenge. Laps for Life donations go to ReachOut Foundation who support, care and provide education for youth mental health and prevention of youth suicide. For us swimming requires endurance, focus, and the willingness to keep moving forward despite fatigue—just like the fight for mental health awareness and support. By dedicating my laps to this cause, I hope to spark conversations, reduce stigma, and encourage young people to reach out for help.
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.
