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
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.

My Updates
Training has begun
Hi friends and family. Training for next March is well on the way with me swimming 1000m 4 times per week at my local gym pool. I am still keen to increase this to between 1500m and 2000m each time I go. Please support this amazing cause and make a donation now. Help me raise $2000 before March arrives. Every dollar makes a difference in helping our youth with mental health issues. Together we can make a difference ShareThank you to my
