I'm swimming to save lives last splash today 1.6km!
- This is my second year diving
- in for youth mental health
My challenge today was 1.6km round the cliffy coast to Blackmans Bay. After a bumpy start, abandoning flippers as the clip broke and swirling around in the surf to get them on/off, it was plain sailing. With my dear friends support, encouragement from Daniela and Carolyn and safety from Steve in his kayak, we even swam into the blowhole.
At 70, this is the furthest I've ever swum in the sea. Why?
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've been swimming, every day, 1/2 km on average, 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.
