Summer Ocean Swim 1km 2024

Many reasons to do this swim

Hello and thanks for visiting my page!

A few months ago, my wonderful friend Robyn (pictured left) asked me if I'd be interested in signing up for this challenge to push ourselves outside our comfort zones and raise money for early cancer research.  

As a lifelong Northern Beaches resident and lover of the sea, of course I said yes!

I knew this swim would serve many purposes - increase fitness, improve swimming, go beyond the shoreline and meet some like-minded people from our community. Not to mention support a cause that is close to my heart.

So far all of these boxes have been ticked. I just need to reach and hopefully surpass my fundraising target. 

Seven years on from bowel cancer treatment, I'm ready to jump in for the 1km swim at Palm Beach on Sunday 28 January.

With your contribution, you'll be swimming with us and supporting the important work that cancer researchers need to carry out to help all of us live healthy lives. 

Thank you!
 

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!
