Why I swim
I’m swimming in Laps for Life to support young people facing mental health challenges. Too many young lives are impacted by struggles that often go unseen. If the discipline, endurance, and heart I build in the pool can help raise awareness and funds for those who need support, then every stroke is worth it. When it gets tough in the water, I remind myself why I started. I swim for resilience. I swim for hope. I swim so that young people know they’re not alone. Every lap counts — and together, we can make a difference.
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.
