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.

1 day down

Helllloooo to all and any who are following. Yesterday (1st March) I swam my first non-stop 1km. It was an awesome morning. Jess and I were visiting a friend in Ballina, NSW, and I swam at the local pool which was overlooking the river, just on the other side of the ocean. It was 7am and such a beautiful, warm, sunny morning. The BEST way to start the challenge. 

Thanks to everyone who has donated! I've reached 50% of the goal now. Unbelievable!
