Why I swim
This March I will be swimming in memory of my cousin Conor. I hope to: - raise awareness of the fact that many young people suffer with mental health issues - encourage all of us to take care of ourselves, physically and mentally (they are linked) - promote taking extra care to look out for those around us and check in with each other
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.
