50km, 1 Month, Every Stroke for Youth Mental Health

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Did you know that suicide is the leading cause of death among young people in Australia? Each year, more young lives are lost to suicide than to car accidents or cancer.

This March, I'm taking on a challenge that’s deeply personal to me—I’m diving back into the pool after years away to swim 50km in one month. It’s a cause close to my heart, and I’m pushing my own limits to help ensure that young people get the mental health support they urgently need.

By sponsoring my swim, you're helping to prevent youth suicide and provide hope for those facing tough times. Every dollar raised will make a difference, giving young Australians the support they need to feel better about today and the future.

Join me in making a change—every lap counts! 💙🏊‍♂️ #SwimForMentalHealth #50kmForYouth
