We’re swimming to save lives

  • This is my second year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Back in 2023 Craig, Jesse,Skyla, Quinn and I completed Laps for Life together. We had a target of raising $250 and were so humbled and happy when we raised so much more as it meant that others were passionate about supporting young people needing mental health support. 

The kid were the ones who bought up doing this again and were keen to increase our previous target swim of 20km to 30km. It has given us a platform to again speak openly about youth mental health and suicide with them, and together do something positive to make a change and let them know that there are services and communities they can reach out to if they are struggling.

It is such a sad statistic to know that the leading cause of death for Australian youth is suicide. 

This March, we’re  swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

By sponsoring our 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.
