We started Training tonight.
We started Training tonight at the pool.
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 22,000 participants and raised over $30,000,000 to invest in over 150 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!

Yesterdays foggy and Rainy swim
Sunday 1st Dec Despite the rain and fog, Kylie Grewal and I went to beach training. I was listening to Christmas music as I got ready “The weather outside is frightful… ?)
Ocean swimming out the back started
Sunday 24th Nov This was probably the hardest training session for me yet as I’m scared of sharks out in the deep but I swam 750 meters out there this week.
First swim and training getting in and out then back in waves at beach.
Saturday 16th Nov It’s trickier than it looks. Learning how to judge and time in between waves, getting in and out swimming round a point and then back .
