Why I swim
I will be swimming Lap this March to make sure young people have a safe place to turn to when life gets too much. Mental health is so important, myself have struggled severely through my teenage years and wish I got more support that I could easily access. I lost my stepdad to suicide in march 2025. It was devastating. Absolutely no one to deserve to go through that ❤️🩹 Please help me push towards my goal and provide the resources that everyone needs 🏊♀️💪
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.
