I'm swimming to support mental health
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
Suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia, for some these are our family members and friends.
I've never been a swimmer however decided to get out of my comfort zone and try to raise funds and awareness for youth mental health this March.
On March 5th my mate Ash would have been celebrating his 22nd birthday, however in November 2019 he took his own life at the age of 16 due to mental health issues.
By doing Laps4Life I'm hoping to not only raise awareness but also hopefully break the stigma between mates opening up and speaking to each other.
If you're reading this and want to support me all donations go towards tools and resources for not only teens but anyone dealing with mental health issues so any contribution is greatly appreciated.
Break the stigma, check up on your mates.
