Why I swim
This March I’m swimming 8km to raise money for youth suicide prevention. Swimming has always been part of me since I was a little girl. When my mind feels loud, overwhelmed, or heavy, the water is the one place that switches everything off. I’m doing this in the hope that more young people get the support they need to find their own safe place, something that helps them hold on. If this swim can help even one young person feel less alone, it’s worth every single kilometre.
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.
