We’re swimming to save lives

We are helping to raise awareness for Mental Health again this year for Laps for Life, swimming through the month of March. Our beautiful cousin Jess,  was a champion swimmer and sadly struggled with mental health. Mental Health is so real, we all know people struggling and in need of help. Help is there, even if it feels impossible. This is me, saying I’m here for my family, friends or whoever you are ❤️ If you can donate towards this cause it is much appreciated xx

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.

Our Impact

So far this year we helped provide...

164

Young people with vital mental health support.
