This year, I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Mental health should be on everyone's radars, and if there is one thing I would like to achieve this month - it's that.

We are living in a time where we are losing precious young people because their mental health is going unchecked and their struggles are going unnoticed.

I have struggled and I have had close family members and friends struggle with their mental health. It something to be cared for and taken seriously, so I hope this month outlines that no one has to, or should have to face their struggles alone <3

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, I'm swimming 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.
