I'm swimming to prevent youth suicide
- This is my third 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.
5 years ago, I lost a very close friend of mine & had the heartbreaking and unforgettable experience of being the person that arrived 1st to the scene. It took a lot of processing & a lot of work to get out of such a deep trauma, but it gave me a deep and driving passion to help other people struggling with mental health & having thoughts of suicide. which is why I’ve chosen to take part in this charity event for the third time & Will continue to take part in dedication to my beloved friend, Jake Lawrence.
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.
