Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
From Heartbreak to Hope 💙
This one is deeply personal. 💙
This March, I’m swimming 12 laps every single day for Laps for Life to raise money for ReachOut — providing free, accessible mental health support to young people across Australia.
We lost a beautiful 13-year-old loved family member to suicide last year.
And heartbreakingly, so many people around us carry a similar story.
No family should have to live with that pain.
No young person should feel so alone that they believe there’s no way out.
In 2025, more than 2.5 million people turned to ReachOut for support. The need is real. The crisis is real. But so is the impact we can make.
Instead of buying your $5 coffee today, please consider donating it!
$5 might feel small to you, but it could help a young person reach out in their darkest moment. Any amount counts!!
I’m asking you from my heart:
Help me turn laps into lifesaving support.
Donate. Share. Start a conversation.
Let’s make sure no young person has to go through tough times alone.
