Support my challenge to swim for breast cancer!

9 people in Australia die from breast cancer every single day.

This 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.

24 days down 6 to go

Monday 24th Nov
After reaching my 10km swim challenge early it was a no brainer that I’d just keep swimming & today (day 24) I swam a PB of 1.782kms in just under an hour.  My 10km night swim was great.  I swam in a kaleidoscope of colours  which was truely beautiful.   Having now swum just over 13kms I am aiming to achieve 15kms in the hopes that I might get a few more donations….
Saturdays swim was a bit chilli & as I entered the pool I did question my life’s choices ?. But I sucked it up & enjoyed the laps.  Today (Mondays swim) water was lovely after a day of solar heating.  Plus we got a little step stool to assist with getting in & out of the pool making life a little easier for me.
The NBCF swim challenge had been the push I needed to get me off the couch & do something worthy supporting this great cause….


Week Two - Blown Away

Saturday 15th Nov
Week two & I graduated to ‘the big pool’ to get a few serious laps in.  I was joined by my sister Robyn  for a laps session & even my niece Natalie came & did a hydro function aqua class with me on Friday to help with some muscle ache relief!
But it’s those donations & words of encouragement that have blown me away!
I’ve shared everyone’s pink hearts & words of support with Eileen & she says a big Thank you to everyone involved!
Chemo had started & she’s not feeling the best today but staying positive & appreciative of the best wishes being sent her way!
Big thanks from not only me, but the Beeston family too ?????
