Team Brit

Fastest swim in a while.



1km at 27mins

Day 1



I couldn't get to the pool, mum duties were a priority today. we improvised and did some laps at home. A 10m pool and 2 children adds to the fun of trying to get as many laps in as possible. Baby Eddie was my kickboard, and 4yo Eleanor was my starter gun. Wendy, the cat, my spectator.

We’re swimming to save lives in memory of Brit



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.

In November, 2023, we lost an amazing person, Brit to suicide. She was someone who used her lived experience of mental health issues and in her work and a great advocate for squishing the stigma around suicide. She also loved to swim. 

This March, we’re swimming again 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. Last year we raised over $3000 and hoping to do this again! 

Our Impact

So far this year we helped provide...

637

Young people with vital mental health support.
