Summer Ocean Swim 1km 2024

Update for 2024

well with only 3 weeks to go I'm progressing well! Swimming around 3 times a week - twice in the ocean and once in the pool.

Last Saturday we achieved 1.1kms!

Thanks for all your support :-) 

Swimming for Cancer Awareness

Please support me on my journey to swim 1km this Feb. 

I've taken on this challenge as I've never learnt to freestyle or to ocean swim so this is going to be a BIG journey for me. 

As some of you know my Mum died of cancer when I was only 9 years old which had a profound effect on my life. One of my closest friends also passed away from cancer. 

I hope that the money raised here can go some way to preventing further pain caused by this awful disease. 

Please support me and follow me on my journey! 

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 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!
