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.

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.

Hey dude. I’m sorry I haven’t even messaged you and seen how you’ve been. I hope you know I always hold your mom in the highest regard and I had so many good nights chatting shit with her and hearing about the old times and her wisdom. She was a rock and a Stone and it was a privilege to know her. I’m sorry I never spent some time talking to you but I hope you know I am super proud of what you are doing and who you have become. Thank you so much for doing this and raising awareness. It takes a certain type of guts that not everyone has. Charity really does start at home, doesn’t it? My condolences to your other friend that passed as well. Was it Phill Jeans? If so he was also a beast. Your broski jules
