Introduction

Hi there! We're challenging ourselves to swim to save lives this March. Our Team is called “Swim Kids” Najib has aimed to swim 2k during the month of March. I will be swimming beside him and logging my laps separately. Because of settings & privacy I have signed Najib up under my details. We are also supported by another family. Their children have been logged onto their Mum’s account as well. So grateful to have company in the pool. Please if you can, help support this great challenge and charity. Every day, one young Aussie takes their own life – that's one too many. Every dollar you donate to our fundraising page will help ReachOut provide all young Aussies with the support they need to be happy and well.

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, we’re swimming to make sure 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.
