I'm swimming 31km's to save lives
- This is my second year diving
- in for youth mental health
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people aged 16-24 in Australia?
That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer. And these stats don't even include the young people who try to take their life. The numbers are shocking, but there is something that we can do to help change this.
This March, I'm committing to swim 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 and provide support in tough times.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
