I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my second year diving
- in for youth mental health
Hi my name is Mackenzie, I'm 11 years old and I'm swimming laps for life to help young people in need.
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?
This March, I'm swimming 20km’s 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.
I know what it’s like to suffer from depression and the pool is my happy place.
I want to swim laps for life to help make a difference. Last year my goal was to swim 10km’s in the pool, and I ended up swimming just over 26km’s.
This year my goal is to swim 20km’s for a great charity.
As Dory says- just keep swimming 😁

Keep spreading awareness on this tragic issue. I always revert back to scripture in times of need. Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Jesus will never let you down. God bless
