Swimming for youth mental health



This March, I’m swimming in Laps for Life to support youth mental health. I will be swimming for my friend Jade who had such a positive and active influence on my life. Like sunflowers turning toward the sun, we all need light and support to grow. Alongside friends and Team NUsport, I’ll be taking on this challenge to raise awareness and help ensure young people get the support they need. If you’d like to support the cause, please consider donating or spreading the word. Every lap and every conversation makes a difference.

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...

2348

Young people with vital mental health support.
