I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

Did you know that suicide is the leading cause of death among young people in Australia?

Each year, more young lives are lost to suicide than to car accidents or cancer.

This March, I’m swimming to raise awareness and ensure young Australians get the mental health support they desperately need.

By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be directly helping to prevent youth suicide.

Every dollar raised will provide young people with the support they need to feel better about today and the future, no matter the challenges they face.

Cyclone catch-up

After a brief setback due to Cyclone Alfred, I’ve finally been able to get back into the pool and continue working towards my 10 km swimming goal for charity. The closure of the pool threw off my training schedule for a while, but I’ve used the time to re-evaluate my progress and adjust my routine. Now that the pool is open again, I’m focusing on building back my endurance and sticking to a consistent training plan. Despite the disruption, I’m feeling more determined than ever to reach my target and support a cause I care about. Every lap feels like a small victory, and I’m excited to see how far I can push myself in the coming weeks!

Two days in!

Having not swum for many many years, getting back into a pool was quite challenging. I've locked in 300m yesterday and 400m today
