Why I swim
I'm swimming as someone who has/and continues to experience mental illness, as well as someone who has lost people close to me from suicide. This March, every lap I swim and every donation goes towards supporting those in need with mental health resources, in hopes that those who desperately need life saving support have a safe space to turn to.
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.
