Laps for Thomas

We’re swimming to save lives

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, it will be three years since we lost our beautiful Thomas, we’re swimming not only for him but to ensure other young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

By sponsoring our 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.

Our Impact

So far this year we helped provide...

7807

Young people with vital mental health support.

Thank you to our Sponsors
