Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because I believe it is truly heartbreaking that one young person dies to suicide everyday. That is 365 kids a year. This made me feel extremely sad so, I decided to join Laps For Life and make a difference.
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.
