POST ON THE TRIBUTE WALL

For Lozza - who despite every challenge always finds positive vibes to summon strength and get on with every day!

I'm swimming for my mum June. Her courage, strength and determination inspires me to push myself a little harder to raise money for cancer research so that maybe one day others don't need to face the same battle.

I am swimming to all those who have been impacted by breast cancer and other types of cancer. I hope with more awareness greater resources can be developed to support individuals living with cancer. 🫶🩷

I put down that I’m swimming for Daisy. Daisy isn’t one person. She’s all the mothers, sisters, aunties, colleagues, loved ones and friends of people I know. Because everyone knows someone who has been touched by this illness, and I want to do what I can to raise awareness of this cause and support the research into finding a cure for everyone. To those who are experiencing this illness, the survivors, and those who have lost loved ones, I’m doing this for you xx

I am swimming for my Nanna who died from Cancer, I am swimming for family friends and teachers who have had cancer or still have cancer. I want to fundraise as much as I can to help for more research to help stop cancer!

I am swimming in support of those who may not be in a position to swim themselves. I wish to bring awareness and start conversations to help with early detection 🩷

I am swimming for those who can't, all the while, wishing the best of health and smiles for those that are going through tough times. Keep your chin up.

Swimming for all warriors, survivors, friends and family that share in the fight, and those who fought till the end. God bless you all🩷

We are swimming for our grandmother, she was an amazing lady and so loved by all 💓

Love you nan! You made a great nan

I am swimming for Family members and Friends who have been affected by Breast Cancer.

Im swimming for those who have delt with this horrible disease and bring awareness to those who have/ are suffering.

I’m swimming for everyone that is touched by this. My beautiful wife, all the wonderful people out there going through it and all the medical support staff. Stay strong and stay positive.

Swimming for my friend Sarah who has just gone through the breast cancer treatment and it on the way out the other side.

I'm swimming for my most amazing friend ever

Swimming for all the woman and men, who has either lost their lives or survived, and for all of those wonderful people who have supported family and friends through such a difficult time.

Swimming for myself. Getting a double mastectomy in December so this is my last swims with my boobs.

Swimming for those who can’t 🩷

Today I swam 9km for the 9 woman we lose a day to honour of each of them — for their stories, their strength, and the families they leave behind. Always remembering, always fighting for a future with fewer losses. 💗🎗️

I'm swimming to help raise funds on behalf of friends and family.

Swimming for all the girls out there who have battled this, and although I don't know anyone personally I am so proud of every stranger going through this or know someone that is, and so so thankful for the research put into this!

I'm swimming for my darling best friend Jackie, who has just passed her 1 year milestone of being free of cancer. I was her chemo buddy last year and spent quite a bit of time with her, caring, supporting, secretly worrying while staying strong for her. Most of all though, she inspired me every week to stay positive and just get the job done. She proved to all those who know and love her that we can indeed do hard things. I'm hoping to smash my goals for her and everyone else suffering, recovering and living in the shadow of breast cancer

Cancer has struck me down twice and both times I have pushed back. I am so thankful for the research into cancer treatment and the amazing staff that have cared for me through my journey. It is time to reclaim my fitness and to give back! My life goal is so simple after having cancer it is to live.

Every day I thank more than my lucky stars I thank the universe and everyone who isn't able to do what I am blessed to be doing All those who have died of breast cancer, their families and communities and those who are in remission, healing and whatever point in their journey with it. It is because of you I swim. It is because I can, that I do. It is because you remind me how lucky I am.

For my friends Shannon and Linda - taken too soon. And totally eh friends who have fought or still fighting ♥️

For my amazing big sister diagnosed this year & fighting still. She is an inspiration to us all. For my mum diagnosed a few years ago, for me too.. diagnosed in 2022., and for so many others. I love swimming & love to be swimming for this cause 💕🎀

For my mum who just had a mastectomy. Aren’t we lucky we have amazing health care here!

Throughout my childhood I have been affected by the love ones around me struggling with breast cancer. I have always been told to cherish every moment as it may be the last. I AM SWIMMING 9KM AS 1 in 4 women in my family suffer from breast cancer and 3 in 5 struggle from other types cancers.

I am doing this for all my friends and family who have been touched by this.

My swim is for every woman and man that has suffered from Breast cancer. In particular Dr Ruth Parsell and Katrina Harrington. Two inspiring survivors who never let cancer get in their way!! ❤️

I’m swimming in memory of my amazing mother in law who fought breast cancer on and off for 30 years and lost her battle yesterday. RIP Kathy xo

I am swimming to support all the women in my life who have battled and battling breast cancer!

I swim these laps to support all those amazing women who deal with breast cancer and for all the lives lost from breast cancer. I love you all and dedicate these laps to you!!!

My swim is for all those wonderful women affected by Breast Cancer - I will be thinking of you every lap! x

I’m swimming for all the amazing women in our livings who are currently facing or have ever had a battle with breast cancer. Every stroke is hopefully another step closer to a cure.

Over the last two years, both my Grandma and my Nanna were diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankfully, they’ve each come out the other side — but their journeys have made it clear how real and close this disease is for my family. It’s also made me far more aware that my sister and I carry an increased risk ourselves. And then there’s the bigger picture: nine people lose their battle with breast cancer every single day. That number is heartbreaking, and it shows just how important ongoing research is if we want to change those odds and save lives. This is why I’m swimming.

“I’m swimming for my cousin Rocio for hope, for strength, and for the day she conquers cancer and lives free. Every stroke is a promise that we believe in a cure.”

Every lap I swim is for my beautiful friend Sharon — a woman of strength, grace, and endless courage. She’s facing life’s hardest battles with a heart full of hope and a smile that never fades. Sharon, you’ve inspired me more than words can say. I’m swimming for you, because you’ve been my rock, my light, and my reminder that love and resilience can conquer anything. This is for you — my incredible friend, my hero.”

Posting, and swimming, to honour the many survivors in my circle, thanks to amazing breakthroughs in treatments through research and development, including my mum and ten friends. And in memory of Heather 🩷

Swimming for all women in my life who have been affected by breast cancer; Gail, Joan, Fiona, Rose, Val and so many more. So glad that treatment options are progressing so much and increasing numbers of women beating this cancer.

Every stroke I swim is in honor of my beautiful friend Yulie De Groot, who passed away lated September this year Yulie wasn’t just a dear friend, she was a nurse (a hero), a leader, and a light in so many lives incl active in her community. Her kindness, laughter, and joyful spirit lifted everyone around her. She led with beautiful heart, cared deeply, and brought comfort and strength to those who needed it most. I’m swimming to honors her legacy and to support others affected by breast cancer. I’ve created a fundraising page where you can donate, share, or simply read about why this means so much to me. Every contribution helps fund life-saving research and support services. Let’s swim for Yulie. Let’s swim for hope 💕 XOXO Yeni

Before accepting this challenge, I had NO idea how many people died every day from breast cancer and I was shocked. I have known many women who have survived it and some who tragically haven't. When my colleague Kim was diagnosed it made me realise how important it is for EVERY woman to have regular mammograms and not to wait until they are 50! I am swimming to raise funds for research but I am also swimming to raise awareness. I am proud to be part of it and make any small difference that I can.

Best of luck to everyone in this beautiful challenge!!

This month, we’re swimming in the Swim For Breast Cancer challenge, dedicating every stroke to my beautiful friend, my grandma, and everyone affected by this disease.

Best of luck to everyone in this challenge

I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in June this year. My young family and I hope and pray for a cure. Without vital research this will never be possible. My 11 year old son and myself are swimming for me, and for all people with breast cancer

I am swimming for my partner who is currently going through treatment and my dearly departed Mother (RIP). Some 20 years ago she had a mastectomy 🏊‍♂️❤️

I’m swimming as a registered nurse who has cared for and supported people with breast cancer or who has beaten breast cancer.

I'm swimming to do my part to support any person affected by BC and hope to raise vital funds for breast cancer research.

Wonderful Mum and friend, a CNS she has started her procedures and therapies. While she herself will continue to serve as a Clinical Nurse Specialist a truly beautiful and inspiring person.

I’m swimming to raise much needed funds. Breast cancer has touched the lives of many people in multiple ways and I’m hoping with enough funding and research we can make a difference!

Hi I’m Shelby and I’m swimming with my best friend. We always have crazy ideas on what changes we should take part in next but we felt we should give this one as as we both have loved ones in our life struggle with breast cancer. 🫶

I’m swimming for my wife Irina Milligan who was taken from me earlier this year. This disease shows no mercy and doesn’t discriminate. I’m hoping to raise as much as I can to support cancer research, and if this helps find a cure or can help save people that would be amazing.

I am swimming in support of my wonderful Aunty Trish, in support of my cousin Christine who is currently battling BC, and I am swimming in memory of my Nonna Maria.

I’m swimming for Elizabeth McCrorie.. She died in 1975, in Prestwick, Scotland, knowing she was leaving her five children, aged 7-15, alone to raise themselves. Before she died, she let her middle son Davy know how loved he was. Her small gestures providing strength through his life. I’m swimming for this scared young woman who left knowing her children would be unprotected and alone.

I'm swimming 5k this month for my grandma, auntie, and specifically my mum. They have all battled and survived breast cancer and I want to celebrate this by raising money for breast cancer research and support. Te amo vovó, tia e mamãe!

This year I’ve chosen to swim to raise money for breast cancer research and support. It’s a cause that’s very close to my heart — for my dear friends and family who have battled breast cancer with such courage and strength. Every lap I swim is for them, and for everyone affected by this disease. 💗🏊‍♀️

I'm swimming because this time last year I was in hospital, post mastectomy. I'm swimming because I am a survivor, like my mum before me, my friend and my niece. I hope we can all contribute to research that will help the many other people experiencing breast cancer.

I’m swimming to raise much needed funds. Breast cancer has touched the lives of those closest to me and I know how devastating it can be. I’m hoping with enough funding and research we can finally put an end cancer!

Im swimming for my family member whom went through her horrific BC journey before the age of 30, now in remission and living her best life. Thanks to amazing treatments avaikble and a strength beyond compare she fought and won. I believe that all the fantastic funraising assistance and donations assist greatly contributing to research to find breakthough new treatments to help save more lives. Every cebt counts, every klm i can swim counts.

I’m swimming to help raise much needed funds to keep breast cancer research progressing, it affects so many and doesn’t discriminate. It’s the very least I can do and I’m proud of everyone who is committed to swim this November 🌻

I’m swimming for all those who experience breast cancer in the past, present, or future. For a future free of suffering, and for creating a future that is better than we found it.

So many of us know someone (or is that someone) who has had to battle this beast. We're swimming for you all 🩷

I'm swimming to show my support to those with have or have been affected by Breast Cancer.

Swimming to support all the women in the world who have gone through Breast Cancer 💕

Another 100 laps done!

I am swimming for my aunties who have been through breast cancer. As an Exercise Physiologist, I see every day how powerful exercise can be in supporting both physical and mental health. This fundraiser is my way of honouring those impacted, raising awareness, and contributing to vital research and support services. Every rep, every step, and every session is for those fighting, surviving, and remembering. 💗

Am swimming because I recently did a walking challenge last month, and loved every positive and fitness step in the right direction. Am swimming for a work colleague going through BC, and she was stoked.

I am swimming in memory of my late mum Esther who we lost to breast cancer six years ago.

I'm swimming because I can. 5 years post chemo, radiation, surgeries and ongoing endocrine treatment, I am blessed with the treatment that has made me healthy again. With that aim that every diagnosis has a positive result, my campaign is to add even a few dollars and awareness to help that cause.

This is a good goal we are all working together towards, well done everyone, and thank you

Thank you everyone who has supported me on this journey so far. This is really a great cause. Let's beat this!!!

I am swimming this month for the second year running in memory of my wife Lenelle who I lost to breast cancer 8 years ago this month.

Swimming for all those brave beautiful women who have been affected by breast cancer. Xxx

I am taking part in this challenge because it's a healthy choice in all our lives to get moving whether it be walking in the water or on land with friends, family or others. It is good for our mind and body. I have had people in my life, past and present who have been affected by this illness and 1 day it will be a thing of the past. I wish everyone luck and a go get 'em tiger attitude, whatever your goal is in work and home life. xX

Swimming for my family and friends fighting for their lives

Swimming to support this important cause because it affects so many people but often doesn't get spoken about much and as an opportunity to push my own limits while supporting those who need it.

Swimming for my gorgeous cousin, who's showing incredible strength through this tough time, the Bulls love you and I am with you every stroke of the way.

Swimming for all the women and sisters in my life to show my 🩷 and support

Cancer has touched my family in a deeply personal way. Within a short time, two people I love were diagnosed and began their treatment journeys — one of them my cousin, Liz. Watching her face everything with such strength and positivity has been nothing short of inspiring. Liz has always been someone I’ve looked up to — full of life, laughter, and light. Last year, out of nowhere, she found a lump in her breast. Just ten months earlier, her mammogram had shown no sign of cancer, and there was no family history to suggest she was at risk. But that lump turned out to be triple negative breast cancer — one of the most aggressive forms. Living in Italy with her husband and away from most of our family, Liz had to face surgery almost immediately, followed by months of chemotherapy and radiation. Through it all — the exhaustion, the hair loss, the uncertainty — she remained her vibrant, positive self. Even on the hardest days, she found reasons to smile. What has inspired me most about Liz is her determination to stay true to herself throughout it all. She chose to face cancer on her own terms — with courage, grace, and that unmistakable spark that makes her who she is. Her strength is empowering, not just because she fought through the hardest moments, but because she never lost her sense of self along the way. She truly is a ray of sunshine. Recently, Liz was given the all clear, and I couldn’t be prouder of her resilience and spirit.

Swimming to support all that have breast cancer as my Great Nana overcome it as well as a family friend. I hope to help those who have breast cancer so that they can live and overcome it with strength.

Swimming in memory of my beautiful aunty who passed away this year. I am also swimming to help support my other two amazing aunties who are going through their treatments. It has been a long few years and this cause is so close to me and my family's hearts. To all the strong and brave women out there battling through this and to their support networks.

I am taking up this challenge in memory of my dear friend Pam Allen who recently lost her life to this horrible disease. Also in support of my brave daughter who is a survivor.

For my two cousins (sisters) who have survived this cancer and all my patients whom I helped on their journey over the decades. I swim for you all.

Joined the swim for breast cancer to look out for all women suffering with it.

I have jumped on board the fundraiser in support of a few different people. 2 of my colleagues have both had a double Mastectomy in the fight for breast cancer, one only this year. If I can raise a little bit of money for research whilst I swim, why not!

Joined the fundraiser upon invitation by a dear friend and so happy to be part of this community. Swimming for more research so that breast cancer can be caught early and treated effectively, like it was for my mum.

To my beautiful Mum we lost to cancer last November - and all the others we have lost, to those fighting right now - and anyone about to find out they need to fight. Every lap is for you.

I’m just another swinging dick in the wind. Felt it’s a good cause it’s really that simple. Have doubled my goal

I have always said that I am a feminist and that I support women so I have decided to not just talk the talk but walk the walk as well, and to do that I will be swimming 10km in support of everyone in Australia that has or is battling cancer 🩷

The reason I am taking on this challenge is because I know too many friends and family with a breast cancer diagnosis. Reassuringly, 3 are 'breast cancer survivors'. However, this year two younger friends of mine, in their late 30s and with young children, have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Every kilometre I swim I will be channelling my strength their way, and sending them positive vibes to withstand the riggers of their treatment journey ahead 🩷

I am swimming for a important person in my life, who is the youth pastors wife and also a beliefs and values teacher at my school. As well as in support of a lot of other people that have survived breast cancer.

I’m swimming for all the amazing women I know who are battling or have battled breast cancer. Getting into the cold ocean isn’t my favorite thing, but it’s my small way of showing support for those who’ve gone through so much, and for the families who’ve lost loved ones to breast cancer. Sending love and prayers to you all. 💕

I am swimming for a lovely ray of sunshine from work, Tan. She is fighting hard to beat this awful disease. This is for you!

I’m swimming for my loved one and to help raise money for breast cancer research. I hope this raises money for future research and helps anyone else with their battle.

To my beautiful Mum, to Tess and all the others who lost their fight, to those fighting and to future fighters .... I swim the black line towards a better cancer free future.

I doing this for my husband who passed away from cancer 4 years ago And for my daughter who is currently been treated for breast cancer. She winner the race and kicking goals because of her determination to beat this disease that took her dad. And because of all the research that is going into breast cancer.

I'm swimming to help raise money for breast cancer research. A good friend of mine Kath is fighting it at the moment so this ones for you Kath. Stay strong

I'm 69, and after two years being unable to swim because of recovering from over 10 operations including double hip replacement, I've joined the Swim for Breast Cancer Challenge and pledged to swim 18klms to support vital breast cancer research.

Swimming has been a huge part of my mental and physical recovery from breast cancer, and now a great way to give back to someone else who really needs the support in their fight. Grateful to be here and have the opportunity to take part in this challenge.

My beautiful cousin has had a hard battle with breast cancer so now I’m showing her how proud I am by giving back by swimming!

I lost the most incredible human to breast cancer, and her absence is still felt every day. My Nan was full of love, warmth, and strength, and I want to honour her memory by turning all of my love and grief into something positive.

I'm 11 and swimming for my Granny, who lost her fight 4 yrs ago. I hope they can find a cure before it takes anyone else I love

I’m swimming in honour of my sister Donna and my sisters-in-law Maureen and Penny. They survived breast cancer and I am very grateful.

I'm swimming for my partner Elle who is a breast cancer survivor and all the other survivors and people going through it right now - hang in there.

This cause is close to my heart, having affected my Mum, Grandma, and close friends. With a 2-month-old baby at home, training is no easy feat — but every stroke counts if it helps make a difference. 💪🏼

i cant imagine losing a mum sister friend auntie grandmother a life partner or wife all i can say is im here for you and hope one day we can say no more breast cancer

Taking a dip for a good cause 💗 This November, I’m swimming to support breast cancer awareness and research.

Remembering my Aunt, who always bought our family a lot of joy, sadly taken by breast cancer nearly 28 years ago. Also remembering my father and cousin taken by cancer. Always in my heart and memories.

I am swimming to show support for the community

I swim for good cause

I am so excited to be taking on this challenge for the first time, supporting a cause that has touched the lives of a few people I know. Having my son join me in the swim makes it even more special. I’m truly thrilled and overwhelmed by the amazing generosity of everyone who has donated to my page - thank you so much!! I can’t wait to get started on Saturday! ❤️

I have pledged to swim 18km in November in memory of my mum Genny and my nana Lilly, for Aunty Pat and other close friends who have breast cancer. I am raising money for breast cancer research so that we can find a treatment, a cure and a prevention strategy for all women everywhere.

Breast cancer has touched my family on both sides, and I’ve seen the pain it causes for everyone it reaches. Over the past year, I’ve made it my mission to raise awareness, share stories, and honour those we’ve lost through making a documentary. Now, I’m swimming 9km for the 9 people who lose their lives to breast cancer every day. Every stroke is for them, for their strength, their stories, and the hope that one day, no one will have to face this disease again

I have decided to swim for breast cancer and support a cause I’m passionate about. I would like to send out my support to all those living with, have a family or friend with, or have survived breast cancer. I’m holding myself accountable to exercise and raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research in hopes to find a cure 🩷

I have joined the Swim for Breast Cancer Challenge to support vital breast cancer research. And also to keep myself accountable to swim/exercise at least 4 times per week. My thoughts are with those impacted by breast cancer, and I am reminded that every stroke/donation helps to fund research.

I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (stage 4) just 4 months ago. I am swimming for me, and for all others going through this. Raising funds for vital research to find a CURE for this disease!

I am swimming to raise awareness and fund research. There is a long history of breast cancer in my family and I am doing it in honour of everyone who has been affected by it.

I am swimming to help my future family. Through research my hope is that my family and others don't have to go through this journey like my mum and I have.

I am taking up the Swim For Breast Cancer Challenge to raise awareness and vital funds for breast cancer research. There is a strong history of breast cancer in my family and I would like to express my love and support to all families impacted by breast cancer in Australia. This November I am swimming for all the brave women and men out there who have undergone breast cancer treatment - you are all so courageous and strong… I am swimming for you xx 💪🏻

I’m swimming to shine a light on the devastating impact of breast cancer — a disease that takes nine lives every single day. Through this journey, I hope to raise vital funds for research, so we can move closer to a cure and ensure that fewer families have to endure the heartbreak of losing someone they love.

Swimming in memory and support for my Great Great Grandmother, Great Aunty and Aunty all diagnosed at the young age age of 62 💕

They say a journey begins with a simple step, and here we are almost 365 steps since we first heard of her diagnosis. Women's stories are often heard and not shared, and for this reason, I am swimming for all these women. Thankful to be part of this as we raise money, awareness and the bar for research For Simone L, with Love xx

I am swimming for all those who have been and are affected by breast cancer to help make a difference to this beautiful cause 🩷

Im swimming this challenge to support of all those people who have had or are going through bresst cancer..

Swimming in memory of our Mum, Betty & support ongoing research to improve treatment for other women battling BC.

I have never been affected by BC. But I think of those that are and have been.

I’m swimming for all the people breast cancer has touched, myself included, without the amazing help from researchers, doctors, nurses and families we all learn to swim and not sink tackling this huge battle.

I am volunteering for this swimming challenge because so many lives around me have been touched by breast cancer,from family and friends to inspiring individuals in my community. As a student, I may not be able to fund massive research projects, but I can dedicate my time and effort to this event to honour those who have shown incredible courage and resilience while facing this disease. I'm proud to stand behind every swimmer, every researcher, and every family member, knowing that the awareness we raise and the funds we collect will help ensure better support and life-saving progress in the fight against breast cancer. Every stroke and every donation counts. 💖

I am swimming for all the lives around me who have been affected by breast cancer. People such as my own aunties, family, friends and anyone else who has been touched by this disease. I am proud to stand behind all of you to fund research, cheer on the people who are fighting and recovering from this disease and the others whose battles were cut short. Every stroke counts. 💗🫶🏼

So many lives around me have been touched by breast cancer — so many amazing people who have shown strength, courage, and resilience. I’m swimming to honour them, to show my support for everyone still fighting, recovering, or remembering someone they’ve lost. Every stroke is a reminder that together, we can help raise awareness and make a difference. 💗

I will SWIM for all of you. This is the very least I can do for the people who have suffered or are suffering from this shitty disease. I can definitely swim for the nurses who see it day in, day out. I can swim for the kids, partners, siblings and parents who have lost family to this. XX.

I am swimming for every individual I have walked beside, continue to walk beside and will walk beside on their breast cancer journey 🎀 As a breast cancer nurse, I know how vital research is and I am honoured to do my bit to help in this way 💗

Throughout November, I’ll be swimming in honour of those who’ve battled breast cancer - especially my friend who has shown such courage. I hope my swim can make a small difference and keep their strength in motion. 🩷

To all beautiful souls who have battle cancer ,now angels .You have won the fight my friends and are in peace .

I am swimming in memory of my mum and my PoaPoa who both fought breast cancer. I’m also swimming for my dad, sister, aunties, cousins and friends

I am swimming for Cathy, Naomi, Jaimie & everyone else battling breastfeeding cancer.

I'm swimming for my mum and my aunty. When I was younger my mum survived breast cancer twice and i'm so grateful that she got through that really tough time. But i'm not just swimming for her, i'm swimming for everyone who couldn't get through it or is dealing with it right now. I hope what I am doing will help save at least one life.

I’m swimming 9km for my mum who was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in May 2024. She is in remission but still fighting the big fight. I’m also swimming for all our mums, sisters, nieces, aunties and friends xx

I’m swimming during the month of November to support and remember those with Breast Cancer and their battles - including my friends. Hopefully my swim helps a little. 💗

This year, I’m swimming to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research and support a cause that’s very close to my heart. I’m doing this for my Aunty Jenny, who has been affected by breast cancer. Her strength and courage inspire me every day.

I am swimming 9km in November for the 9 people who die everyday from breast cancer, as well as the people in my life who have passed away from it.

I’m swimming this month to support breast cancer research. Both my mum and my girlfriend’s mum have faced breast cancer and thankfully came through it. Doing this to honour their strength and help others still fighting. 💗

Breast Cancer kills so many men and women. We need to make more people aware

My Beautiful Mum passed away almost 11 weeks ago from Breast Cancer that had matasticized to a mass around her oesophagus. It took her life in a very cruel and painful way. She had breast cancer in 1995 and beat it but this time she could not fight the disease. She fought to live right to her last breath. We need to find a cure for this awful disease. I will swim 40 laps a day of our 50 metre pool in the hope that i can raise money and awareness in our small country town of Warialda

I am saddened by those who have lost their fight. I am hoping best wishes and strength for those who are currently fighting. I also know those who have been given the good news post horrible treatment and now their offspring is in danger. Best wishes to all

I am swimming 18km with my Mum for all the men and women that have been diagnosed or died from breast cancer.

I am swimming for my Pa who passed from cancer. His was not breast cancer however all cancer has affected the lives of many. This is for my mum also who misses him dearly and for Pa who fought hard to the end.

I have daughters, daughters-in-laws, grand daughters and some of the most wonderful women around me. I'm enjoying my swimming again after many years, so why not use it to make a difference in a space that affects so many.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Sept 2023. I started treatment in November 2023. I finished my treatment August 2024. My port was removed in September 2024. I commenced my ongoing treatments in October 2024. October 2025, one year now on some pretty nasty drugs. I still have a year to go. I am swimming 6 km because I can. Because I am not one of the nine.

I am swimming for my wonderful mum who has battled this disease twice. She's superwoman! And I hope she (or any woman) ever has to go through this again.

I'm doing this for all the Fighters, women and men, who fight every day this crappy disease. And I'm especially swimming for my 2 aunties who both had twice Breast cancer and both beat it twice. You rock!!!

I am doing this for everyone who gets diagnosed with breast cancer and has to go through surgery because of it. I really want to support this cause and raise donations so every breast cancer patient can have access to facilities and research to help make a change.

I'm doing this for whomever relates to a breast cancer story or experience #fukcancer! #LettsBeatIt 💪🏼🏊🏼‍♀️

I'm doing this swim for my dear friends and friend's partners. For those who have died or been affected by breast cancer. My last scan was clear. Not everyone gets the chance. I can swim, so I'll do that.

I am a nurse who is swimming for everyone’s journey I have been apart of, friends, family and patients.

I am swimming to raise money for loved ones lost. For loved ones who are still suffering from cancer.

I love swimming but I love it even more if I help people who are in need

I’m doing this swim for my work colleagues, friends and family members who are no longer with us and for those that are still battling to stay alive.

Doing this for my sister who was diagnosed 4 months ago. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm swimming 50km for my Mum, taken from her family too soon. It's about time I do something to help give those still fighting cancer the best possible chance of winning the fight.

Swimming for Vicky and Joyce who were taken to soon from breast cancer . I hopefully I can raise enough to support this cause

Swimming for my friend Jen, who battled breast cancer this year and is the strongest person I know ❤️

I am swimming to reduce the 9. Luckily I was not one of the 9. I am so thankful that I have more years with all my love ones, my kids, husband, siblings, parents and friends. You are all so special to me.

Swimming in memory of my mum, and excited to raise money for research to save more people.

Swimming 9km won't be an easy challenge but it is worth every cent raised for breast cancer research. Hoping to make a small difference and push myself.

Swimming for my beautiful grandma Patricia

Swimming to raise money for research.

Swimming in memory of Donna. A women who was a fighter, such an inspiration and amazing woman miss her everyday 🌸

I am swimming for myself. Having being diagnosed with a form of breast cancer about 4 months ago this is my way of saying thank you to the people that have been there for me through all the different stages. It is also my turn to take back control over my life.

I’m swimming for all women, but specifically my beautiful friend Ruthy! Dr, mum and friend. X

I’m swimming for my super mum who fights everyday with a smile on her face

I was diagnosed with de novo metastatic breast cancer this year. I am swimming to help raise awareness between both my family and friends, and to every person suffering from breast cancer

Every day in Australia, nine lives are lost to breast cancer. Nine stories cut short. Nine families changed forever. This November, I will swim 18km in memory of one of them - my mother-in-law, my dearest friend. Her strength, grace, and laughter still echo in the spaces she once filled. She’ll be in my thoughts with every stroke, along with the many families who’ve lost someone they love far too soon.

Nursing student here! Just completed my first 600 metres in memory of my family friend who lost her life to breast cancer, and showing support for all oncology nurses 🩷

Miss you Kit-Kat, we still cuddle your teddy every night Xx

Swimming for everyone that is going through or been through treatment. Doing my small part to help.

Hi everyone, I have friends that have been affected by breast cancer, so I am swimming a minimum of 27km!!!

Swimming 20km for a loved one!!

I’m swimming 18km this November for them — for those we’ve lost, those still fighting, and those who’ve faced the long road of treatment with incredible strength. Someone close to me went through treatment, and seeing what they endured really opened my eyes to how tough this journey can be. No one should have to face that battle alone, and that’s why I’m raising money for breast cancer research — to help fund better treatments and, one day, a cure.

I am swimming to make a difference!

Cancer is a word not a sentence. Keep on keeping on. We love you and see you and swim for you

lets raise funds for people that we love who have either fallen or been diagnosed with/by breast cancer!!

Healthcare research is vital! Too many people have been impacted by Breast Cancer. Even though it is small I want to try to help in any way I can!

Breast Cancer is always close to home. The more research done the less we loose! Sending love to those affected by breast cancer.

I know we didn't know each other well but your kids brought so much light to my life and you would be so proud of them.

I am swimming 9km in memory of my dear friend Pam Allen who recently lost her struggle with this horrible disease.

Yah just swam my first 1 km in the pool only 9km to go !

I started swimming in February, and completed my very first kilometre in September. Swimming 9km is not exactly an easy challenge for me, but I am determined to absolutely smash this goal. I have been overwhelmed with the love and support I have received and am now motivated to swim far beyond the 9km. The biggest thank you, again to everyone who has supported me this far.
