Why I swim
Hi, I’m Summer and I’m nearly 9. I’m swimming laps this March to help kids and teens who are having a hard time and need someone to talk to. I want everyone to know that it’s okay to ask for help and that there are safe places where people will listen and care. Every lap I swim is for kindness and hope.
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.
