2025 Autumn Ocean Swim

Help me overcome my fear of deep water and raise money for cancer research

I've always been afraid of deep water in the ocean. To challenge myself this year I have committed to completing a 1km ocean swim.Β 

I will be training from February until April when I will complete my first-ever open-water ocean swim.Β 

Please help me with some fundraising and yelling at me to train harder so the sharks don't get me.

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!
