Why I swim
I swam competitively as a younger person but stopped because of mental health issues and what I feel was a very unhealthy culture associated with competitive swimming. I am swimming because I'd like to view swimming in a positive light again and I think participating in this challenge might do that for me and help some young people in the process.
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.
