Why I swim
This is something I’ve wanted to do for awhile now, as myself and those I love have struggled with mental health. This year marks 3 years since we lost a dearly cherished son, brother, nephew, grandchild, friend - and my cousin, Angus. My goal of 16km in the month of March may be a little ambitious, but our Angus will be Forever 16 and it felt right. Please spare what you can and support me in raising awareness and funds for Youth Mental Health. Myself and my family greatly appreciate you.
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.
