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.

Finally started!

I had been too exsausted to drag myself to a pool for actual swimming. Mum and I are moving, I’m injured and experiencing health issues, the stars hadn’t aligned. But I am trying to push my bubble to be bigger so I asked my friend to come with me and we practiced some laps! Turns out I don’t breath properly so sticking with backstroke for now. Need better goggles too haha
