I'm swimming to save lives
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.
Anyone who knows me, knows I struggle to swim, but if I can struggle a bit every day to overcome a small challenge, it can go a long way in supporting those who can benefit from ReachOut’s work. I’ve chosen this fundraiser to help put resources into youth mental health, so we don’t raise another generation who believe suicide can be the answer. If anyone wants to come join me for a few laps, please do!
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.
