I'm swimming because I have needed support for my mental health, people I love have needed support for their mental health and I have lost a brother and friend to suicide. Everyone needs mental health support at some point in their 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.

It is a privilege to support this cause. I think many families have been impacted by suicide/ mental health at some stage so it would be encouraging to see people in crisis be supported by sponsoring such a challenge. Cheers to you Natasha
