Why I swim
I am taking part in Laps for Life, committing to swim 20 kilometres during the month of March 2026 to support mental health awareness and suicide prevention, because caring for one another and staying connected can truly save lives. I am also dedicating my laps to the beautiful young lives in Iran who were lost while longing for freedom. Remembering them honours their courage, their hopes, and the futures they never had the chance to live. Their vitality and unfinished dreams remain deeply present, and keeping their memory alive matters. I do this with deep appreciation for the Australian community, whose kindness, compassion, and moral support during this difficult and tragic time for the people of Iran mean so much. If this message resonates with you, I warmly invite you to join my team and swim alongside me. Together, through simple acts of movement and care, we can honour lives, support mental health, and remind each other that no one walks alone.
I’m taking part in honour of the youth of my country, remembering their courage and hopes.
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.
