I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my second 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.

Okay, I'll admit... swimming is actually kind of fun

I did 19 laps of freestyle today! 🏊‍♀️ After doing some research I realised I was kicking my legs too fast and that's why I was getting so tired with freestyle so early on. Anyway it meant I didn't need to switch to breaststroke straight away 😎
