Why I swim

I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Mental Health is a silent killer and something I hold close to my heart. I'm hoping by taking part in Laps for Life it helps open the conversation about mental health and takes away the negative stigma around it.

Swimmer

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.
