I'm swimming to save lives
- 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.
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.
My recovery
I've just completed my first 30 laps on day one. I'm feeling strong. I had a heart attack six month ago while I was snorkelling with humpbacks 🐋 in Tonga. I'm seventy one years young, and I'm just glad to be here and to be able to raise some funds for youth mental health. Good luck to everyone, I think you are all legends. 🏊♂️My Swim Progress
