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.
At the exhibition Spirit of Place, at Braemar Gallery, Springwood, I exhibited and then raffled the painting Cloud Dance. Other local businesses also generously donated goods and services - The Scenic Skyway, The Turning Page Bookshop and Teddy Sinclair.
To celebrate and affirm the sacredness of human life, the preciousness of every person and especially children, I invite you to join with me in taking a stand against the abuse and sexual exploitation of young women and girls. Together we can act with dignity and compassion to renew their hope, purpose and opportunity to live a full life, free of fear and exploitation.
