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 delighted to support! It’s not just about raising funds, it’s about the awareness you’re creating, which has an enormous impact. 🙌 Mental health issues are gripping our communities here in Ireland too, and the situation is becoming more urgent by the day. No matter the cause, witnessing the difference genuine efforts can make, especially when giving back to the local community, is something deeply meaningful to me. Thank you for prioritizing this important cause. 💛
