Swimming for Mum: My Ocean Journey to Fight Cancer
Cancer has touched the lives of so many, and for me, it hit home when I lost my beautiful mum to this devastating disease.
My mum loved the beach. Every time I’m near the ocean, I sense her presence, and that’s why training for an ocean swim to raise money for cancer research feels like a great tribute to her.
Plus it's a good challenge for me as those that know me, know i normally hit the pavements jogging and this will be my first ever ocean swim!
I’m partnering with the Can Too Foundation to raise funds for cancer research and prevention, driven by the hope that no one else has to endure the pain my mum went through.
It’s a cause that speaks to me deeply, with other family and friends who have and are fighting cancer and cancer related diseases.
I would love your support as I take on this challenge.
Thank you for helping me honour my mum and other special people to me, and support this important cause.
Thank you to my Sponsors
