Why I swim
Hi, my name is Tamara. This March, I am swimming Laps for Life to help raise funds and awareness for youth mental health and suicide prevention. I’m aiming to raise $500 for 5km - swimming as many laps as I can - to honour those who have suffered, those who have lost their battle, and those who are still struggling. I appreciate your donation to support this cause ☆
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.

I don't have a lot of money right now, but I hope this helps
