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.

Byron swim followed by beach dip

Today was my first swim with a mate! I definitely found it motivating swimming with someone faster than me.

First swim!

I tried to get as much in as I could today! With work starting at 9 and a tropical cyclone scheduled to hit later this week, I had to get started!

First swim back - time to increase my goal

Getting back into the pool for the first time in years reminded me how capable I am. I realise I set myself a goal, that is too easy and not going to challenge me. I forgot how much I loved to swim and how comfortable I felt in the water. I want to honour Josh and Aaron, and follow Elise’s footsteps. Back to the drawing board I go.
