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.

Australia’s youth are suffering—and they need us now

Australia’s youth are struggling with chronic sadness, and too many feel like they are facing it alone. This is not just a statistic these are real lives, real pain, and real futures at risk. We can not ignore it. We can not pretend it is someone else’s problem. Every young person deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. It is on all of us to show we care. To listen. To act. To be there. Because no one should have to fight this battle alone.
