Why I swim

I have been a mental health consumer since my youth and have been through many dark and low points. It took me way too long to get help, mainly because I was in denial for ages, and when I decided to stop being in denial, I did not know where to find help. It is so important to be able to access treatment for mental health. Please consider donating to this cause - I will be swimming my favourite stroke (breaststroke) throughout the month of March.

Swimmer

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.
