I'm swimming to raise awareness for the veteran suicide crisis
- This is my first 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.

Considering you only learnt to swim a year ago this will be an amazing achievement. It’s never too late to ditch the armbands and make a difference.
