Why I swim

We live in difficult times. Somedays; for many of us; it feels nearly impossible to try to improve our mental health for the betterment of our own lives. And it gets to a point where we just don't want to do or be anything anymore. But I want to at least try to inspire those that need it. To help others build themselves up. To help provide purpose.

Swimmer

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.
