Support my challenge to swim for breast cancer!

9 people in Australia die from breast cancer every single day. Yes, 9 per day!

Last year I had to undergo a breast fine needle aspirate, followed by a core biopsy, and it was a terrifying time (luckily I was ok at my 1 year follow-up). I also have several girlfriends and a relative who have undergone mastectomies (single or double) and I will swim in their honour to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, in the hope one day no women will die from breast cancer. I also swim to honour my incredible friend who is a specialist breast sonographer in WA, who saves the lives of women every week, and who looked after me during my scans!

This October and November, I am taking part in Swim For Breast Cancer for the mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and loves ones who are impacted by this devastating disease.

I am doing this to raise funds for National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to support vital breast cancer research to help save lives.

Please make a donation to support my challenge and let’s make a splash to save lives together!

Thank you for your support.
