I'm swimming to save lives and help youths beat the battle with mental health
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
My name is Conrad Forsey,
I am 31yo brissy born and bred father of 3! Beautiful little boys named Torben, Storm & Saint. The reason why this cause struck a nerve in me because I have suffered with mental health and people I hold close to my heart have also! I have also had thoughts of suicide in my life which I am so grateful I'm here today to breathe, smile and love with all of my ❤️
I strive to be better everyday and this 20km swim in my eyes is the least I can do compared to the mental battles people deal with alone or in silence.
I miss my little boy Storm every second of every day and want to do this swim to celebrate his 2nd birthday in march and show my boys that you can do anything you put your mind too.
Love always and forever,
Your daddy
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.
