I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

It's unfortunate that we are facing a mental health epidemic in Australia, where many young people are struggling with mental health in the form of anxiety and depression and other conditions. It is even more heartbreaking to understand that suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia. All because of mental health stigma, lack of a support system and lack of resources.

This is why I want to help make change and will be swimming in March to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need and to prevent youth suicide.

Feel free to donate if you want to. If you can't, that is completely fine, but please check up on your friends and family. They may need your help and support more than your realise.
