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.

Such a great cause

really enjoying swimming with a purpose. helping provide support for those young people struggling with their mental health at times. More importantly to swim for those people, young and not so young, who lost their battle and are noʻ longer here to swim themselves. Very sobering time, but swimming the laps gives lots of opportunity to reflect and to look back on special memories of loved ones lost Any financial support for this cause would be appreciated
