Why I swim
I’m swimming again this March, to continue to spread awareness on mental health and to raise much needed funds to support young people. Since I swam in 2023, I've lost two more friends to suicide. Mental illness is lethal, and we need to talk about it. We need to come together and support each other.
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.
