I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
At one point nearly everyone has been affected by suicide. Through my teens I’ve had a few friends lose their lives to it and recently my dear nephew lost his battle. Even myself I have struggled with suicide attempts throughout my life.
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 for those teen friends of mine, my nephew, for the younger generation to 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.
