I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
This is my first year diving in for youth mental health as part of the Laps for Life CEO Challenge.
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 joining a collective of other business leaders swimming 10km to raise $10,000, 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 am I getting into the laps!
I'm lucky to have a natural optimism and enthusiasm for life, but not everybody does - 1 young person in Australia alone take their own life every day and ReachOut put in a big effort to connect with the people that are our future - the young people at most risk. I'm getting involved because it's a cause I believe in, and I believe mental health is growing in importance every day.My Swim Progress
