Why I swim
I’ll be swimming laps to raise funds for youth mental health. I’ve personally experienced the heartbreaking loss of loved ones to suicide, and it’s something that stays with you forever. I believe that with greater awareness and support, young people won’t feel so alone in their darkest, most isolating moments. There is always another option, another person to turn to, and more to life than what it feels like right now. If my swim can help start conversations, reduce stigma, or remind even one young person that they matter — then every lap is worth it. Please help me reach my goal and contribute what you can! Thank you so much
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.
