I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Were you aware that suicide stands as the primary cause of death among young individuals in Australia? That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.


Regrettably, the matter of suicide has affected too many lives. This March I will be swimming for the charity Laps For Life which donates money for those struggling with mental health.


By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide as all funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
