Imelda Gilmore

I'm swimming to save lives.

  • This is my fourth 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.

God gives me so much pleasure from my swimming and I’m delighted that through this challenge I’ll be raising funds for suicide prevention and mental health. I don't know anyone whose family isn't touched by mental health issues. By sponsoring my challenge, you'll be helping ReachOut to help our loved ones get back to great health and there's a very real chance that you will save a life.

Thank you in advance for your encouragement and support. God bless you.
