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.

Almost Halfway!

Thank you so much to all of you who have donated so far! I've found doing this has increased my motivation while swimming and I'm now regularly achieving 8 laps as opposed to my previous 6 laps 🥳

Apart from today, that is, because I realised I had left my goggles on Monday and I couldn't find them anywhere; sadly the lost-and-found ones the pool loaned me were abysmal! My eyes were stinging so much, I had to admit defeat and go home to forage for Lil's goggles to use on Friday.

I'm excited to keep the momentum going and hopefully continue to increase my endurance/focus whilst swimming (I get bored quickly because adhd, which is almost as big a factor as my physical fitness 😂 )

Well done on your amazing efforts! It's admirable that can use your own recovery and the struggles that entailed, both physical and mental, to pay it forward and help others with their own obstacles. It shows a great deal of strength and selflessness. I hope you exceed your fundraising goal!
