Why I swim
I've recently rekindled my love for swimming and I thought it be a great time to use this to raise some money for a good cause. Laps for Life is a fundraiser for the ReachOut organisation who provide support, connection and hope for young people facing challenging times. As someone who has faced mental health challenges in the past, I know how valuable support, connection and how something as simple as a conversation can change your day. The money we raise will help to make sure that there's a safe space young people can turn to when life feels overwhelming.
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.
