Why I swim
For young people, and especially queer young folk, life can sometimes be overwhelming. Everyone has their own challenges and struggles in life, and we all need support from time to time. For over 25 years, ReachOut has been helping young people access mental health support when they need it. Every lap I swim this March with Laps for Life will keep ReachOut going, and your support will go a long way to helping young folk when they need it most.
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.
