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.
I've begun!
As most of you know, I'm a stroke survivor with a lung condition. I'm still going to give this my best shot! I'm aiming to get at the very least 10klms swim by the end of March. Today, Day 1 I managed 200m ... which I'm proud of, I didn't include 50m as I was just goofing around. Hopefully tomorrow I can manage a full 200m, then goofing.Vee.
