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.
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.

I truly empathize with the challenges surrounding mental health. It's heartbreaking to see that there often isn't enough support available for those grappling with mental health illnesses, and we must do more to promote prevention and provide the help that individuals need during difficult times.
