2025 Summer Ocean Swim 2km

My reasons

I am no longer new to ocean swimming but every day Mother Nature presents a different version of the sea so we can never become complacent or fall out of awe. 
Cantoo has helped me achieve many of my goals over the past 3 years, and I continue to ask for your support in fundraising for this organization. Cantoo provide real world support to early career cancer researchers (new PhDs)- one year grants to kickstart a research career. This support is an example of the social and cultural fabric of the society we are privileged to be part of here in Australia- people leaning in to help those of us in need achieve our best outcomes. At the tender age of 44 I have already experienced (and survived/thrived despite) two different types of cancers- melanoma and breast cancer- my story may have been vastly different if I didn't live in such a place as this.
I swim for joy and also with gratitude. I'd be grateful for your support as I strive for my goal swim: Palm Beach to Whale Beach (2.7km around the headland) on Australia Day. Help make our place a better place by donating to my page!
