Autumn Ocean Swim 1km Program 2024

VALE LISA GORTON

My friend of 25+ years Lisa died suddenly 4 April.  She was my swimming companion and a great friend.  I swam the rescheduled North Bondi Race on 7 April in shock and because she would have wanted that.  She was meant to be doing the race.  
I'm now doing the second Ocean swim we had both signed up for - the Maroubra Ocean Swim tomorrow.  It will be a race I do in Lisa's memory.  I'll miss her drafting in my wake and making me laugh.  I'll miss her competing with me on time and swimming her own race - in the ocean and in life. 

I'm supporting cancer research and prevention with Can Too Foundation. 

1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This means that potentially someone we love may have to battle cancer, and that's a statistic that needs to change. 

So I asked myself, "what can I do to help?" That's where the Can Too Foundation came in! Can Too provides professionally coached training programs for participants of any fitness level to run, swim and cycle their way to a healthier lifestyle and a cancer-free world. 

In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care, and control of cancer. Since 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 18,000 participants and raised over $25,000,000 to invest in over 200 one-year cancer research grants.

It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me, or even better join me in a program!

Thank you for your support!
