I'm swimming for my health and to help prevent youth suicide!
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
It makes me so sad to know that the leading cause of death for young people in Australia is suicide. Each year, more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer. In 2025, I want to be one of the people who will positively affect these statistics.
Mental health support is so important. In the not-too-distant past, I had my own struggles with mental health and by receiving professional help, working on my physical health and receiving support from others, I was able to overcome the black dog.
This March, I'm going to be swimming in Laps for Life to make sure young people have the mental health support they urgently need.
By sponsoring my challenge, you'll be helping to prevent youth suicide. All donations, little and large, are greatly appreciated! Whether it's $1 or $1000, all contributions matter and will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
Let's make a positive difference together!
Thank you in advance.
