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.

First swim

To start it off, I have completed a 2.5 km swim. In preparation for achieving my goal, I worked out that I need to do a minimum of two sessions per week of 3 km each. However, to give myself a little extra room to ensure I reach my goal, I hope to add an extra session per week. I’ll be back in the pool tomorrow for that first 3 km.
