Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Youth suicide plays a big role in the pacific community especially the young people. My close friend was one of them, he took his own life back in 2009 a year that was meant to be the best year for us as our last year of high school. A promising league, had a talent like no other, big heart with his big smile and his big curly Afro. I miss him a lot. RIL TYRONE “JEDII” FILIVAA
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.
