Why I swim
My incredible Mum started what's become a tradition to do Laps for Life in 2019, wanting to do something for herself and others after finishing cancer treatment. This is my third year jumping in to keep her legacy going for supporting youth and adolescent mental health. Swimming is such a powerful way to clear your mind from stress and has been a really important way for me to clear my head from my own challenges. Laps for Life gives me the opportunity to help ReachOut provide ongoing support and resources to help young people and families manage their mental health struggles the way that swimming helps me with mine.
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.
