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.
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.
I’m taking part in Laps for Life to honour my grandaughter Elizabeth and to make sure help is always available and easier to access, when life is difficult and perhaps overwhelming.
Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.
