I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
Mental health and suicide affects more people than you realise, especially when it happens to a friend or family member. In 2024, I lost a friend to suicide and in dedication to him I'm committing to swimming 50kms across the month of March to raise awareness.
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.
