I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my second 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.

Getting close

Its only halfway through the month and I'm almost there - I think this means that I need to increase my target......Maybe 20km?

First swim done and dusted

Not as long as I would have liked, but as the pool is busy with school carnivals I trekked to Terrigal Haven and did a few backwards and forwards to South Buoy.  
Water was warm and clear... no jumbles or blue-bottles!
