2025 Summer Ocean Swim 2km

Can she do it? Yes she can!

I'm throwing myself in the deep end (literally) and facing my fear of ocean swimming! 
Most of you know how much I love the ocean. I never used to be afraid until a very humbling experience in 2019 where I got tossed about in some pretty hectic surf. I didn't get hurt or anything but a little seed of fear got planted that day and I've been afraid to navigate the ocean surf ever since. So over 14 weeks, I am going to work on building my confidence and skills in the water and complete a 2km ocean swimming event (maybe more if my swim buddies can convince me).
At the same time, I'll be raising money for cancer research to help those whose lives are touched by cancer and who are facing their fears every day with so much courage.
Thank you so much for your support!

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!
