Why I swim
This March, I’m swimming for young people who are struggling. Too many young lives are lost to suicide each year. Behind every statistic is a family changed forever, a future cut short, and a young person who felt they had nowhere to turn. I’m taking on this swim to support ReachOut, a foundation dedicated to helping young people experiencing mental health challenges find hope, strength and support when they need it most. Every lap I swim represents a young person fighting through tough times. Together, we can help ensure no young person has to face those moments alone. If you’re able to donate — big or small — you’ll be helping provide free, accessible mental health support to young people who need it right now. Let’s make waves for change. 💙
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.
