Why I swim
For 20 years I struggled with thoughts of suicide every single day. I know we can help others make it through the pain and suffering they carry and live a full and happy life. Having been through the suicide of my uncle Tri normalised the act for me. I know I could've saved him if I just spoke up the last night we saw him alive. I want to make sure everyone knows they are never alone and this fundraiser is just one small way of doing so.
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.
