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.
Why I’m Swimming!
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?
This March, my ICU colleagues and myself are 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.
Being a nurse the last 3 years has exposed me more than ever to the effects of suicide, not only on the patients, but the families and friends who feel the devastating effects of someone struggling with their mental health. Working in a fast paced environment like an ICU challenges my mental health everyday and putting my own mental health first is so important, and taking up a childhood love of swimming in December has been so refreshing and has had such a positive Impact on my Mental Health!!
That’s why I wanted to take part in Laps for Life this year 🤍🏊♀️
