Doing my bit for Youth Mental Health.
- 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.
I have seen first hand how Youth Mental health affects friends and families it is far fetching and relentless for those involved. I have been on exercise regime for some time now and have lost 40kg and my health and well being has changed dramatically because of it. So I thought why not keep going with my exercise and help someone out and Fundraise while doing it. So i am up for the challenge are you. Please donate for a cause that is well underfunded.
