I am swimming to support youth

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Mental health and inparticular youth mental health is very close to my heart both personally and through my line of work. I know the impact having support can have. That’s is why I have chosen to swim 20km in March! 

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.
