Why I swim
My laps goal this year is 33.3km - the distance of the English Channel swim between England and France and by coincidence a Strava Challenge for March. I’m participating for my second year in Laps for Life with our team "Soul Swimmers" because too many young lives are lost to suicide and I hope to help make sure there's a safe place for young people to turn to 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.
