I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my second year diving

  • in for youth mental health

I'm once again jumping back in this March for ReachOut Australia to make a splash (yes an intentional pun). A cause very close to my heart, this is a very special program and fundraiser, that gives resources to youth struggling with mental health - something that is always needed!  Although I might be a swim teacher, I don't actually swim that much so 20km is a great challenge!!

If you can't donate, contribute to this cause by sharing the page or the resources of ReachOut, checking in on the people around you, or it can even be as simple as mindfully taking care of yourself. Perhaps go for a coffee with someone you haven't seen in a while! Thank you to all who have donated or left supportive messages, I love you guys and here is some more about the cause:

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.
