Why I swim
I am challenging myself by swimming 1km for each day of March for Mental Health Support of our youth. Aside of the much publicised increase in diagnosed disorders, many young people are just struggling in today’s world, with far too many taking their own lives… I am hoping my participation increases awareness to help guide those at risk to seek the help which the funds raised will support…
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.
