I'm swimming to save lives in memory of Brit
- This is my second 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.
In November 2023, I lost my best friend to suicide, Brit, who was also a fearless advocate for mental health and suicide lived experience. She also loved to swim.
This March, I'm swimming in memory of Brit and 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 and continue to spark important conversations about suicide.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
