Why I swim
I have taken on this challenge to help as many young people as possible understand that help is available and to not be afraid to reach out. I love swimming and putting my head in the water is my own therapy. It gives me a chance to clear my head. that I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim I swim for you.
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.
