Swimming keeps me sane…

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health
We all know how passionate I am about raising awareness and decreasing stigma around mental health. And most of you know that swimming is a big factor in keeping my own mind healthy. So I decided to do this challenge and fundraiser in the last month the pool is open for the season as suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.  So anything that helps me and helps make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need is a win-win situation.  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.
