I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my second year diving

  • in for youth mental health

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.

This is a donation given with Lilian in my mind and heart. Lilian took her life this week. She was 13. She was in my son's class... No-one saw it coming, he thought she was a happy girl. The students, teachers and parents in our school community are heart-broken. It's a sad reminder that people so often seem ok when they are not. Thank you Laps for Life for caring and saving lives.
