I'm swimming to help save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health
This March, I’m taking on a 20km swim to support ReachOut Australia and raise awareness for youth mental health. It’s a big challenge for me, but nothing compared to what so many young people face every day. Right now, over 1 in 3 young Aussies are struggling with their mental health, and too many aren’t reaching out for help. ReachOut provides free, anonymous support to help them through tough times. If you’d like to get behind me, a small donation would mean a lot—but even just sharing this can help spark a conversation. Let’s make sure every young person knows they’re not alone.
