I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

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.

Progress

thanks so much everyone for all the support !!!  I am swimming hard smashed a goal today and did 2km in one session. Swimming is a lot harder than you’d think hahah. All of these donations are helping hundreds of kids get the support the need. No one deserves to feel alone.
