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.

Hi Jo, Denise Ryan here. Go you! I changed my name to Doris on Facebook because scammers kept sending malware to Messenger and you cannot decouple that from Facebook. I shook them off by doing this. They were close to taking my identity at that time. Hope you are well. 🌻
