Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. I have Bipolar 1 and I’ve struggled all my life.Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. Last year in February I had a stroke and part of my recovery was getting into the pool. I now swim 50 laps most days and my mental and physical health has never felt better.
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.
