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.
Motivation < Discipline
Not feeling it today but I know I need to get in the pool. A cold Canberra morning is always a bit of a turn off but I am heading down this afternoon to smash out another K or so. After hearing about a young person from a school I worked at that was lost to mental health struggles over the weekend, it feels more important than ever.A reflective swim
spent this session thinking about students who I have met who battle through things on the daily. when the swimming got hard, I thought about the battle they face every day getting up and doing every day activitiesMy Swim Progress
