I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need. Working in a role with a deal with Mental Health of young people I feel this challenge is essential. Last year I witnessed someone take their own life in front of a train. If I can raise any form of money to know I am making anything of a difference I will. I plan to complete this at my local pool but also at the work pool some mornings from 6:30am, please feel free to stop by and support most mornings.
In January one of my mates unfortunately also took his own life without any warning or signs. This is something that crosses my mind every single day when I help young students in my grade. I plan to swim 62km in 31 days- but maybe more. 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. Thank you everyone!
