Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
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.

An incredibly admirable mission. What you’re doing takes real courage, compassion, and heart. I have no doubt you’ll reach your goal — this path is clearly aligned with something bigger than all of us. The ripples from your effort will travel far beyond what you can see right now. Wishing you strength, clarity, and steady water all the way.
