I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

This March I am diving in the deep end to raise awareness for youth mental health. Currently 1 in 3 young Australian’s are experiencing mental health difficulty, with suicide being the leading cause of death for 16 to 24-year-olds in our country (more than car accident deaths and cancer for that age group) 🤯😓

I’m committing to swim 42km over 31 days to spotlight these frightening statistics surrounding the youth mental health crisis. I hope to raise $2500 for this cause, and if you would like to donate anything at all, proceeds will go to ReachOut - Australia’s leading online mental health service for young people and their families. 

By sponsoring this challenge, you are helping prevent youth suicide. 

Day 1 💙

1km done and dusted to start off the challenge! Beautiful morning.
