I'm swimming to save lives, raise awareness and STOP the stigma.

  • This is my third year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Once again I am back, my 3rd year in a row after being brave that first year three years back and taking the dive. 

I swim in memory and honour of some beautiful souls who I miss every day. Especially my Juz. 

Every year I also really like to try share a little bit about my mental health journey….but that bit is super hard! I’ll keep practicing ☺️

Thank you for reading my “why”

Below are some facts about suicide in young Australians.


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.
