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 may not be able to be on the frontline providing support for individuals, but I definitely want to make a positive impact towards being a part of the solution.
I'm swimming to save lives
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia. Losing a loved one to suicide is not foreign to people that are a part of my circle.
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 may not be on the frontline for individuals, but 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.
