POST ON THE TRIBUTE WALL

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.

I am swimming for my Aunty, Karen; and our family who have all been touched by BC. Showing support, love, and hopefully helping fund important research and support for those touched by it.

I’m swimming to show support to my Mum in law Eileen who’s only recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her positive attitude, courage & bravery is amazing, Here’s wishing her a positive outcome, along with anyone else facing the same fight.

I am swimming for Grandma who has been lucky enough to survive breast cancer. I hope this raises money for future research and helps anyone else with their battle!

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.

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

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.
