Why I swim
I’m swimming because suicidal ideation is high among trans communities. I'm swimming because I have experienced feelings of overwhelming despair and hopelessness - and survived. I'm swimming because I'm supporting my kid as they struggle through some really rough times. I'm swimming because it's good for my mental health.
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.
