I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health
This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need. As many of my friends and family know, I've had an ongoing battle with mental health, and it is something that I manage every day.  I am lucky enough to have the support and resources of my loved ones to support me and give me the care that I need to help me create a life that isn't ruled by my mental health. Some young people aren't as lucky as I am, and this is a way I can help them have the support I have.  It isn't an easy fix, but with the right resources and support, it is possible to overcome and manage life with mental illness. By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide. I am raising funds to support vital services that provide young people with access to mental health resources, counselling and crisis support. Every donation helps create safe spaces, improve education around mental wellbeing, and ensure that no young person suffers alone.I am here for anyone who is struggling or needs someone to talk to 🤍
