Why I swim
Despite there being more awareness and education suicide is sadly still the leading cause of death for people aged 15-44. I’m swimming this March to break the stigma surrounding mental health illnesses and suicide. My laps are in honour of family members and friends who we’ve lost to suicide. Via ReachOut, every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. Your donations and support are hugely appreciated x
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.
