Why I swim
Supporting Laps for Life is a way for me to offer a teeny weeny bit in order to help others provide a very big bit. That very big bit involves reach out services and the never ending quest to understand how and why people, particularly young people become so unwell and often see darkness instead of life's bright shining light.
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.
