We’re swimming to save lives
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, we’re swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
By sponsoring our 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.
Our Impact
So far this year we helped provide...
1390
Young people with vital mental health support.

It is a privilege to support this cause. I think many families have been impacted by suicide/ mental health at some stage so it would be encouraging to see people in crisis be supported by sponsoring such a challenge. Cheers to you Natasha
