My Activity Tracking

kms
Marathon swimming and ultra-marathon swimming involve swimming long distances in open water. Marathons usually span 10 kilometers or more, while ultra-marathons go beyond this, often covering distances of 20 kilometers and above. Participants need rigorous training, strong swimming abilities, and adaptability to changing conditions. These swims require exceptional physical fitness, mental resilience, and careful planning due to the challenges of unpredictable weather, strong currents, encounters with marine life, and other hazards.
On Saturday 13th April my next challenge starts. I am attempting to swim Palm beach to Shelly Beach (Manly) it is 24-27km depending on conditions. This will be my longest swim that I have ever attempted.
I am sharing a support boat and kayak support with my swimming buddy Lizzie.
Once again, I’m raising money for my favourite cancer charity, CanToo. I’m very proud of the fact I’ve raised more than $23,000.00 over my years of completing events for them.
CanToo supports the work of cancer researchers who might not always receive government funding. And you never know a cure might be closer than we all dare to think.
Because Dad never stopped trying and fighting ... and I’m so proud of him.
On the day I hope the hours of endless training will get me through and it would be fantastic if you could sponsor me.
Thanks again for taking the time to read this and hopefully being able to help …
