I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?
More young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.
Last year in October, I lost my beautiful 14 year old sister, Isla to suicide.
This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
By sponsoring this, you are opening a gateway of support that people like Isla deserve.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
