Why I swim

I'm taking part in Laps for Life because youth mental health isn’t just an important cause to me; it’s a huge part of my story. I’ve been through my own difficult moments, and I know how much difference it makes when someone reaches out, listens, or offers support at the right time. Those experiences are why I’m hoping to raise $300 to help young people get the care, understanding, and hope they deserve. If you choose to support my fundraising, please know it truly touches my heart. Thank you for helping me give back in a way that means so much.

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.
