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?
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
For those who know me well, know I have suffered with severe depression and crippling anxiety since I turned 16, and for those who don’t, well now you do. Mental health is something that I never took seriously until it took over my life and I was no longer in control. Without the help of drs, family and friends, I would not be here today. I would like to reach out to anyone who can to partake in the laps for life challenge this march. You are not in this life alone! It’s ok to relapse, its ok, and it may feel like the hardest pill to swallow but it’s ok. It’s ok to feel really good one day and then like you’re on the edge the next, you will get through it and you can get through it. Its ok if the only answer is medication. At one stage medication is what gave me my “personality” without it I was as bland as cardboard. My aim of this month and sharing my experiences is to provide awareness of mental health struggles and hopefully being able to help as many people as I can experiencing them.
