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?

This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

Upon myself, the water was my safe space. A place where only I and water intertwine, where all problems faded away. Swimming was a big part of my life, and not only helped me physically but it supported me through my toughest times - it gave me the opportunity to understand my feelings and my mental health. The pain hidden within and challenges throughout mind would become instantly relieved through movement of the water. Through the actions of swimming, I was able to find a home where I found support, love and care through water and the Swimming community.

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.
