We're swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health
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, Pat and I are swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

Swimming has always been important for my own mental health, and my partner and I are also doing this in honour of a friend we lost to mental health struggles. 

Every lap we swim is a reminder of resilience, connection, and the importance of looking after ourselves and each other. 

If you’d like to support us — whether by spreading the message, donating, or even joining in your own way — every little bit helps.

Thank you all!
