Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. I'm also doing this as I too was near to suicide so I know with the support and love around you....you can get over it and live a beautiful happy life.
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.

My Updates
Kids should not die before their parents
I have a very good friend who lost her son. It was devastating. He was young, had lots of friends, a good job, a partner and baby. We have to save those before they get into that dark abyss where they can't see the positive in living. We can't let this happen anymore...we must help those some how some way. ShareThank you to my
