Kids these days ….
- 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? Our children have so many challenges that we never had to deal with and they need our support.
Each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.
This year I’m diving in for youth mental health as part of the Laps for Life CEO Challenge. I'm joining a collective of other business leaders swimming 10km to raise $10,000, to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need. But I'm not swimming 10km, im going as far as I can in March in the hope of making a small impact on a big problem. If you can do a little I promise to do a lot.
By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide. You can be confident that ALL funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
