I'm swimming to save lives
- 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.
Mental health and wellbeing is something that has always been a big part of not only my life, but my loved ones. I believe it's something that isn't talked about enough, and when it is, can often be masked with humour (we all cope in different ways).
Exercise is one of my favourite ways to take a beat and reconnect with my body, but often it's accompanied by loud music, so I'm not really giving my mind a chance. Although there's ways around the 'thoughts' during swimming, I'm going to use this as a chance to connect with my body AND mind.
I'm excited to use this time to explore some different ocean pools, hang out with friends and get some strong swimming abilities (if a shark attack happened right now, I'm screwed).
If you can spare anything to donate, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, just some kind words of encouragement would go a long way. 3 laps a day may not seem like much, but if you've ever seen me swim, you'll understand this could be tricky LOL xx
