I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

TW//: 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 can get the mental health support they urgently need.

I’m currently a Swim Teacher in Melbourne and take pride in providing a safe and supportive environment for all my students. I want to participate in this challenge for them and for other young people over Australia to promote the importance of mental health awareness💖

All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing. Thank you for sponsoring me and I’m looking forward to swimming this March 🏊‍♀️💙
