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.

Great job Damien. I’m doing a bike ride for cancer research in June with my son and eldest brother - at 75 he’s a very tough nut indeed! 1000kms in 10 days with just under 9000 meters of climbing.
