Why I swim
I work with young people primarily aged 14-18 at risk of suicide every day. Part of how I keep myself afloat in amongst that work is to swim. Its new. I’m pretty rubbish. But hell, it clears away the day like nothing else. More than 1 in 3 young people in Australia are experiencing mental health difficulties. Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people aged 14-24. This March, I'm swimming 10km to help change that. By sponsoring my challenge, you'll be directly supporting young people in need. Your donation can provide vital mental health services and help save lives.
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.
