I'm swimming to save lives

  • 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.

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.

Extra 40Km for a friend

I am now swimming the next 40km for a friend. Today is a very important day in his life, so I will attempt to swim 5km only today to support him. 
International Day of Happiness.

Half way

Hello Frinds
This has been a great first 15 days of my fundraising. We have achieved over $900 dollars and I have swam 40km.
If you keep supporting…. Over and beyond my target of $1300, I will keep swimming over my target of 50Km… let’s see how far we can go.
