I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

If you know me, you know I am passionate about the work I do as a child and adolescent mental health clinician. Something that’s evident in the work I do is the lack of resources to support many of these youth outside of public mental health. 

This March I’ll be swimming to raise much needed funds to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

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.

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.

I once saw 2 men drowning in a swimming pool. One man shouted at me and said “please, can you help me and my friend?” I said, “yes, of course. It is My friend and I.”
