Why I swim
I’m a school psychologist by trade and a "Slow Laner" by choice (or perhaps by lack of cardio). I see firsthand how much our young people need mental health support. I'm swimming this March to raise money for ReachOut because every young person deserves a safe place to turn when life feels overwhelming. I’ll be doing the hard yards in the slow lane—all I ask is that you help me reach my fundraising goal! Every dollar goes directly toward preventing youth suicide and supporting young Aussies in need.
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.
