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.

This is my second year doing this. Last year I raised over a thousand dollars. I’d love to help as much this year but don’t feel any pressure to donate that much. Every little bit helps

My first laps

After my birthday at the start of the month and then sickness for a week, I've finally got in the poll for my first session. Hoping to catch up soon
