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.
Swim for life
Making a Difference for Mental Health Awareness
I am undertaking this initiative to support youth and adults who are struggling with mental health challenges. Sadly, too many of us have experienced the devastating loss of loved ones to suicide—an unimaginable pain that stays with you forever. Over the past five years, I have witnessed a significant increase in mental health issues in my clinic, and it is truly alarming.
This cause is deeply personal to me. I, too, have faced severe anxiety and continue to manage four autoimmune conditions, a recent hip replacement, and a shoulder injury. Despite these challenges, I am committing to swimming 10 kilometers—a feat that will test me both mentally and physically—to raise awareness and make a difference for families affected by mental health struggles.
Your support can change lives. Your donation not only contributes to a vital cause but also brings hope and relief to those who need it most. On behalf of the individuals and families whose lives you will touch, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who donates and helps make a difference.
Together, we can create a brighter future for those battling mental health challenges. Thank you for your generosity.
