I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my second 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.
What I’m doing this March…
Hey everyone, so I have decided to participate in laps for life again this year. Laps for life raises vital funds for reach out Australia to help end youth suicide and overall improve the mental health of our young Australians. This cause is very close to my heart as I struggled with mental health for a long time. Now I am doing so much better I hope to show others recovery is possible and these funds help professionals help others just like me. On a personal goal, I was actually able to keep swimming on and off throughout last year which was great for my physical and mental health, so I hope to get into an even more regular routine with swimming this year.
I hope to swim 15km over the WHOLE month of March. My fundraising target is so high as you guys helped me raise $3.3k last year and now I hope we can beat that this year! I’ll keep posting my progress throughout march, but this is just a friendly heads up as to what I’ll be doing.
