Story
Family & friends,
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! I've recently joined an ocean swimming group called Babewatch. We are a crew that are participating in a number of ocean swims this summer to support the organisation Batyr.
Batyr aims to smash the stigma surrounding mental illness in youth and seeks to educate and empower young people to have a voice. Having seen friends and family suffer with mental illness, and not feeling as though they could speak out, this charity is very close to my heart. Being able to freely talk about 'the elephant in the room' is so important.
I've done five swims already, with many more to come this summer including a 12 hour group swim in March.
Any contribution, big or small is much appreciated. Or feel free to join us for a swim :)
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice.
Thanks so much for your support!

batyr
Despite 1 in 4 young people suffering a mental health issue by the end of adolescence, mental health issues are not openly discussed and remain the ‘elephant in the room’. Of every 30 students in Australia, seven will be dealing with a mental health issue, yet only two will reach out for support, leaving five suffering in silence. Sadly, most young people dealing with mental health issues do not reach out for help, largely due to stigma. batyr is a for purpose preventative mental health organisation, created and driven by young people, for young people.
We reduce the stigma surrounding mental ill health and empower young people to reach out for support. We help create communities that support young people’s mental health and wellbeing. batyr's vision is a world where all young people are engaged in positive conversations about mental health and empowered to reach out for support when needed. We do this by engaging young peopleto talk about mental health and wellbeing. Educating through the sharing of young people’s lived experience stories and empowering young people by giving them the knowledge and skills to lead mentally healthy lives.
