I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

This is my first year diving in for youth mental health as part of the Laps for Life CEO Challenge.

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 joining a collective of other business leaders swimming 10km to raise $10,000, 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.
