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.

Follow along on Strava!

My ankle is currently broken

I have been swimming with a pull buoy this month due to the fact I'm still hobbling around in a moon boot! I'll hopefully be out of it soon and kicking in the pool again :)
