Why I swim
Mental health in our young people is declining rapidly in this country. I know, and have known, too many people who have suffered and felt unable to reach out for help. I have lost dear friends to suicide, people who were brilliant and fabulous and so much more than how they died. Raising awareness for this issue, for them and for anyone else experiencing mental health issue, is important and I hope you’ll support me.
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.
