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?

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.

Not only is our highly motivated and also super committed Niece, Julia Brown, always a most caring young lady, supporting many causes and programs for the youth, but is now committing herself in this 'Reachout' swimming challenge, another most unselfish example of her beliefs for special Australian/ World 'mental health support'! She is also extremely concerned as we are, of the high statistics presented in youth suicide. We all have to be aware of this and hopefully can all help to make a difference and bring down the heartbreaking statistics. Great effort Julia & Teams
