I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my sixth year diving

  • in for youth mental health

This is my sixth year of swimming to remember Kwajo and support young people's 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.

20 ks worth of tumble-turns marked complete!

Today I achieved my 20k goal in my lunch break in the pool at my apartment. I'm also close to my fund-raising goal, I hope you can help me splash past that as well.

90% there

Yesterday I swam in the beautiful ocean pools at Austinmer. They're like infinity pools, with waves breaking over the seaward walls at high tide. 
I didn't want to get out. 

Day 1 at wylie's

Swam my first kilometre with the fish at Wylie's today. Such a gorgeous day for it.
