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.
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.

My Updates
1 km to go!
Just finished my 9th km. Today was a real struggle. It's hard to get the motivation when it's cold or wet, or when you have had an exhusting week and you feel drained. But that's what life feels like EVERY DAY when you have depression, it's a struggle to get out of bed, to shower, to dress, to go to work, to cook, to clean and most of all.... to hide your depression from everyone..... And that's why we are here, and that's why we swim this month. ShareThank you to my
