Young lives lost in the Hawkesbury

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...

1765

Young people with vital mental health support.

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
