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.
I'm swimming to save lives
Swimming is so good for my mental health. It really helps me to stay focussed and be healthy. On top of that, the connection with fellow swimmers is amazing.
It is such a honour to be part of our team "the Gunyama coffee club". We are so thankful for everyone that has donated to such an amazing cause. Please help in anyway.
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.
