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.

Deepest gratitude

I can't believe the generosity of those who donated...and I haven't even started swimming my laps! I'm happy to announce I've increased my fundraising target, so motivated and inspired to swim these laps for such an important cause! Thank you everyone xxx bless xxx Bring on MARCH!!!

Swim so others can keep their 'head above water' to fight the waves of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and more.
