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.

I hope this message finds you well, amidst the ebb and flow of life's currents. I wanted to take a moment to share some words of encouragement with you, as you continue on your journey of swimming laps. In the vast expanse of the pool, each stroke represents not just a physical movement, but a testament to your resilience, dedication, and strength. With every lap you swim, you're not just traversing distances, but overcoming obstacles, both seen and unseen. I know that sometimes the waters may seem daunting, and the journey may feel long. There may be moments when fatigue sets in, and doubts creep into your mind. But in those moments, I urge you to remember why you dove into the waters in the first place. Think back to the exhilaration you felt as you first dipped your toes into the pool, the thrill of pushing yourself beyond your limits, and the satisfaction of progress made. Let those memories buoy your spirits and propel you forward, stroke by stroke. Remember, it's not just about reaching the other end of the pool; it's about the journey itself—the lessons learned, the friendships forged, and the personal growth achieved along the way. So, when you feel the weight of the water pressing down on you, when your muscles ache, and your breath comes in gasps, summon the strength within you. Draw inspiration from the rhythmic sound of your strokes cutting through the water and the steady beat of your own heart. Know that with each lap you swim, you're not just moving through water, but through life itself—building endurance, cultivating perseverance, and embracing the beauty of resilience. And if ever you feel weary or doubt begins to cloud your vision, remember this: you are not alone. There are countless others cheering you on from the sidelines, believing in you, and celebrating every victory, no matter how small. So, my dear friend, keep swimming laps. Embrace the challenge, relish the journey, and let the waters carry you forward to new horizons.
