Swimming for Youth Mental Health
- 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 our youth in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
From the 1st March until the 31st March my goal is to swim a total of 101km - 75 laps per day, 4.30am start, with 1 rest day per week. So the goal is to complete 2025 laps in total. It's my biggest charity challenge so far yet just a spit in the ocean compared to the challenges facing so many of our youth in the world we live in today.
Wish me luck and thanks so much for your support.

$101 for 101 kms sounds embarrassingly stingy, but I hope it helps, and I know it’s for a very worthwhile cause. Good luck, and I look forward to a Speedo selfie! 😂👍
