I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my third 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.

Hey mate. I don't know what's going through your head or how you're feeling but I'm so sorry for your loss. It's an extremely devastating thing to see, and I can't imagine what's it's like for you. Although we may not be in contact as much, I want to show that I've got your back, I don't expect anything back so I do hope this message gets to you well. I'm wishing all the best to you. I won't be able to show up to your event due to circumstances in my own life, I'm sure you can understand, but know that I wish the best for you and your family. Keep pushing mate. You're doing excellent things in this world, and you should be proud with all the progress you make. Regards, Cooper
