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.
I've always been a keen swimmer and I've decided, what better way to get back into it than to join a team and swim laps that can actually make a difference!Â
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.
Thank you!
Thanks to those of you who have donated and helped me reach my fundraising goal before we've even started swimming! I got some new togs last week and am waiting on some rad goggles to arrive as well.ÂMy Swim Progress
