Why I swim

I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.

Swimmer

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.

Liv! I have always seen you and your sister to be absolute rockstars! Well done for doing this for yourself and for Zoe. I had an extremely long battle with mental health and as a young person living out of home adorable mental health support could have helped me get help before it got as bad as it did. You’re two of the brightest little lights out there, send my love to Zoe too 💗💗💗 Good luck with your swim too
