I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

I work with young people and have seen first hand the benefits that access to the right support can make a huge difference in their lives. I hope that by raising these funds, more young people have access to the help that they need.

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.
