2025 Summer Ocean Swim 1km

Why I am doing this

I'm currently training for 2024/25 Summer Ocean Swim program with the Can Too Foundation, a registered Australian charity committed to fighting cancer and supporting Cancer Research. 

Part of my role at ‘Women In Focus Physiotherapy’ is working with women going through or recovering from breast cancer treatment. As a physiotherapist and a certified lymphoedema therapist, I help women through their breast cancer journey, with skin & scar management, musculoskeletal rehabilitation & exercise and early surveillance and treatment for lymphoedema. 

This feels like a really important charity to support and I’m overcoming my English nervousness of ocean swimming! 
I’d be so grateful if anyone feels able to support me and the Can Too Foundation. 

Swim training

Loving this swimming with the Cantoo program. Have done 2 ocean swims at Bondi, - stunning, not scary & no sharks!! And 4 training swims at UNSW pool, aiming for 3 swims a week. Actually learnt how to breathe on both sides properly! 

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!
