I'm swimming to raise awareness of youth suicide and to try to help prevent more.

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

I appreciate any donations. As a family member and friend to those who have been impacted by this issue I am swimming to promote more mental health support, particularly for the youth of the world. My deepest thanks for your consideration. Even if you don't donate I appreciate all measures of encouragement for me to reach my goal!

-----

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.

Goal change and thanks!

I had to change my original 20km goal to 10km due to being away for work half the month and also getting sick. I'm still hoping to surpass 10km with the few days left of the challenge. Thanks to everyone who donated. This has been the most lap swimming I have ever done in my life. I even got to do some open water swimming 40 mile offshore on my work trip while others were snorkeling. It's been great for me and I really hope the funds go to some young people that really need support.

Fundraising goal exceeded!

Thanks to everyone who donated! The goal was met quickly and I'm striving to make sure I meet my swim goals for the month to reflect my gratitude of your support!
