Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many lives are lost to suicide. I want to make sure young people have a place to turn when life feels overwhelming. Swimming is also great for my own mind and body!
I'm swimming to save lives
Suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia. The fact that teenagers are wanting to end their lives before it’s even started scares me. The ripple effect of suicide is crazy, I’m swimming to help those struggling but also for everyone it affects. And for my own health! Each lap I’m more motivated to help people over this hump so they can experience amazing opportunities in this world.
More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, ReachOut provides anonymous, free services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help.
