Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. I know the feeling all too well of my own mind not being a safe space which can be so isolating and scary. I’m raising much needed funds so the youth of Australia can access a safe place for mental health support.
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.
