David & Hugo Smith

We are swimming to save lives

  • This is my second 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, Hugo and myself are 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.

Dave, you and your family are an inspiration. I've seen you at the pool swimming four times further than me in a session and I'm exhausted! Well done Dave and Hugo.
