I'm supporting cancer research and prevention with Can Too Foundation.

Many of you have seen me ride over the years to raise money for various causes. 

This year I decided to do something completely out of my comfort zone....  Learn to swim and do a 1km ocean swim in order to raise funds for cancer research.  It hasn't been easy but it's nothing compared to those we know who have been diagnosed with cancer.  I have gone from week 1 in the pool not being able to swim 50 metres to week 7 swimming 800 metres confidently in the pool and ocean. I was supposed to be able to swim 200 metres at the start of this!. I have been stung by blue bottles and had for the 1st time panic attacks trying to get through the surf at Bondi. I still face the challenge of trying to mentally master those waves and not panic. My journey is going to take time and that is ok.  

This is my blog to raise funds and it looks like I will be in the autumn and spring program to achieve the ocean swim of 1km! 

Please donate if you can to this great cause.  

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. 

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!
