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’m only paying 40c per lap = 400 laps = $160 I know League players aren’t as tough as AFL, so I think my money is pretty safe. 😊 By the way mate - well done - what a great cause.

If Raising awareness of what to look for can save one life then that is better than not knowing at all. Good luck with the laps.
