I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my third 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.

I am so ready for this challenge in 2025!

Training has begun already, I just really enjoy following the black line, it is my natural  anti depressant, stress release in life and makes me feel good, I feel alive, charged and fitter!
