A cause that is close to our hearts

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health
Hi everyone!
My dad and I have decided to take part in Laps for Life and swim 20km each this March - to hopefully earn some much needed donations for ReachOut Australia, in the youth suicide field.
We have both lost close ones to mental ill-health, so your donations would mean the world to us. Anything $2 and over is tax deductible too!
We totally understand if you're not in the position to donate, and your words of encouragement would mean just as much!
Dad taught himself to swim when I started training to be a Surf Lifesaver, at the ripe old age of 40 and this makes me so proud (he'll hate me for this 😂)
Much love,
Annie and Des xx

Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?

That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.

This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.

All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
