Support my swim for youth mental health

I'm taking part in the LAP it UP swim challenge to raise awareness and funds for Live4Life’s mental health education and youth suicide prevention model.

Live4Life builds the capacity of young people to recognise, seek and offer help for mental health concerns and it also builds the capacity of the whole community to look after and support their young people.

It engages young people, school staff, parents, carers and the broader community in evidence-based mental health education.

Please support my LAP it UP swim challenge - your donation will help more young people to receive vital mental health education and will help save lives!

Thank you

My Updates

Swim 2

Saturday 4th Oct
Today's morning swim had me get 1km in before the swimming lessons took over the small pool, so I did my second km in the lagoon. 

Today's mental health statistics, according to lifeline Australia, people in regional and rural Australia are 2 times more likely to die by suicide than those living in capital cities. 

It is vital that young people on these areas are able to access support and services. 

Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Day 1

Wednesday 1st Oct
This month as I embark on my laps I'd like to share a statistic with you. 

Today for Day 1, did you know that a survey in 2020 noted that 1 in 7 young people aged 4-17 live with a mental health condition. 

Access and availability of these services is so vital. I'm swimming laps this month for youth mental health and suicide prevention. If you're able, I'd love your support for this important cause. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
