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.

This is a cause very close to my heart and a physical and mental challenge that can only do good.

Bye bye Alfred

TC Alfred has gone and we’ve cleared the debris from the pool. Back to laps today! Hamish is going to do 25 and I’ll try to match him. Thanks for everyone’s support.

Swimming with a friend

Encouraged on by my youngest friend, this afternoon’s laps were double what I’d originally planned. Yay for us!
