I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

For those of you who know me, know how passionate I am about mental health and supporting our young people who may require some extra help in achieving good 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 31km 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.


Thanks so much to Fed Uni Health Sports and Aquatic centre for giving me free access to the pool so I can compete the 31km. I have donated the cost of the monthly swim to this incredible cause. 

3km

Another 3km swim today. After 10 laps I was tired and didn’t think I’d get 1km. But I remembered how hard some of our young people are doing and reminded myself it’s only 1 hour and 20 minutes of hard work! 6 km done. Now for a day or two of rest! Thanks everyone who has donated so far! #LapsForLife
