Why I swim

I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Reachout is an incredible service which can allow young people to find advice on numerous mental health topics and anonymously chat with peer support workers in times of need. I myself have turned to Reachout when life feels too much. Please help me support this amazing service so they can continue to provide a safe space for young people to turn to!

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.
