Why I swim
I will be swimming for mental health because I would like to support those who feel there is no other way out. As a young person with mental health issues I have struggled with feeling lost over and over. So this March I will be swimming for myself and those who feel just like me. We are not alone.
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.

(I’m so broke but hopefully this will help a little) I’m so in awe of what you’re doing. I have a lot of problems with my mental health, it’s nice to know there are people out there that are willing to put in so much of their time and effort to help other people. Sending endless amounts of love x if I could donate more I would 🥺❤️🩹
Love to see it, keep it up Wren!
