Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide and I at 16 years old was almost one of them. If it weren't for free/low cost mental health services being available and the love and support of my mother, I wouldn't be here a decade later. I hope to help give others the support they need to continue fighting their demons as I continue to fight my own. Never give up!
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.
