Why I swim
Im swimming this march to raise money for youth suicide. As someone who struggled with bullying in high school I understand how hard it can be for young people to reach out for help. There isn’t enough support for those suffering. There is still a stigma around mental health which affects everyone’s day to day life. I believe that too many young people are struggling with this and It’s something that needs to be talked about more.
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.
