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.

Started early due to work travel in mid March

Hi friends and family

As I'll be travelling for work from mid-March, I have already kicked off my month of swimming. After 10 days, I've already swum 18.3km (Olivia has swum 1.8km). Will be trying to keep up the pace...

If you are considering donation, please hold off until 10am AEDT tomorrow...

On Thursday, all donations up to $245 to my fundraising page (which help support young people with mental health challenges) – are being doubled. Pinnacle Charital Foundation and the Gonski Foundation will match whatever you donate :)

Ready to dive in :)

Olivia and I are swimming Laps For Life in March 2024 as part of the Manuka Pool team.
Olivia's goal is 3km and my goal is 30km.
Any donations to a worthy cause are gratefully appreciated.
Olivia and I have made a small donation to get things rolling.
Wish us luck.
