I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

This March, I'm swimming 5km at my local swimming pool 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, which is the leading cause of death among young Australians.

All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.

Let's make mental health struggles okay to talk about together.
