I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
I'm participating in Laps for Life in memory of my colleague, Elise, whom we tragically lost in an incident last October. Elise had supported this cause in the past, and this year, her friends, family, and colleagues are coming together to honour her legacy and contribute to a cause she deeply cared about.
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.
