Why I swim
This March, I’m taking part in a charity swim to support young people, because too many lives are lost to suicide, a cause that’s deeply personal to me. Having lived with depression and anxiety for much of my life, I know how important it is to have support when things feel heavy. Recently, swimming has helped me reconnect with myself, with others, and with a sense of joy I’d been missing. Now, I want every lap I swim to contribute to something bigger: helping ensure young people have a safe place to turn when life feels overwhelming. Thank you for supporting me and this cause that means so much.
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.
