Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
I'm swimming to save lives
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge advocate for mental health especially men’s mental health. In the latest data, the leading cause of death for men between 18-25 is suicide.
Unfortunately my family is not immune to this, I myself lost one of my best friends Danny at the very young age of 28, a cousin who left behind loving parents and sibling and my eldest brother lost his best friend Mitch who left behind a beautiful family.
I think this is the first time I have ever asked for people to donate but I truely believe this is an amazing charity and they deserve every single cent so please if we can all dig deep and let’s give these young people a chance (plus any donation over $2 is a tax deduction)
I will be swimming 14km over the month of March, this is going to be a huge challenge for myself but I am so ready to make a change! I will be updating throughout the month and you can also track my progress through the link below!
I am aiming to raise $1000 and for every donation up to $50 from my family and friends, I will match your donation!! Let’s do this
