Why I swim
In memory of my nephew Wade Bibby who we miss every day I am pushing myself outside my comfort zone in the pool this March to raise funds in an effort to avoid other families having to endure the heartbreak and sadness that we have endured. If you are in a position to donate please consider, if not just send your encouragement and support. ❤️https://www.lapsforlife.com.au/fundraisers/rachelwallen
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.
