I'm swimming to save lives & to motivate change
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
Did you know that suicide is the leading cause of death among young people in Australia? Every year, more young lives are lost to suicide than to car accidents or cancer, and it’s a heartbreaking reality that hits close to home.
This March, Kye & Courtney are participating in Laps for Life, swimming 20 km throughout the month to help ensure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
We understand firsthand how crucial it is for young people to receive help early. Without the support they need in their youth, the challenges they face can carry over into adulthood, leading to struggles that affect them for years. By supporting this cause, we’re not just aiming to prevent suicide in young people — we’re helping to stop the cycle of pain that can last into adulthood. Mental health is something that means so much to us, and we want to do our part in shaping a healthier, easier future for young people as they grow into adulthood.
We’ll be swimming most of our laps at The Entrance Pools, and we’d deeply appreciate any support you can offer. Together, we can help make sure no young person has to face these challenges alone.
