I'M SWIMMING FOR Mum

I’m doing this for my mum for the second year in a row. She has been so strong these last two years I can’t believe how far we have come. My mum is my best friend and I love her so much she is my hero. Thank you so much for all the support that has been given to us. I’m swimming in support of the NBCF’s goal of zero deaths from breast cancer and advocating for early detection and improving treatments so no one else has to go through what my mum has gone through. Doing this for mum and everyone impacted by breast cancer.

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.

Kicked off my swim!

Monday 3rd Nov
Thanks so much to everyone who has donated already! I’ve kicked off my swim with a 1km ocean swim and I’m working to keep up my kms! Special shoutout to my uncle Matty and Aunty Bea for their very generous donation and for always supporting me. Loving being back swimming and taking on this challenge! 

NBCF research

Saturday 27th Sep
Earlier this year I got to visit the Translational Research Centre at the PA hospital. Got to see some amazing things include natural killer cells under a microscope! The NBCF funds this research and it’s so inspiring what the researchers are achieving. It was amazing to see how the funds we raised last year were being used

Swim for Mum

Saturday 27th Sep
Hi everyone, Maxy here. I’ve signed up for the NBCF swim challenge again this year. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me raise over $20k last year. Let’s do it again!! I’m so proud of my mum. She is so brave doing her treatments to hopefully beat breast cancer. She is still undergoing treatment and the side effects are tough. I hope that by raising money for breast cancer research future treatments will be easier and more effective. I support the NBCF goal of no deaths from breast cancer in the future. I’m also doing this for friends and family who have breast cancer. Thanks everyone for your support. Thanks, Max

Dear Max, I am so inspired by you and proud of the way in which you have transformed grief, sadness and suffering into hope, courage and determination. You are helping so many women have a better and brighter future as more knowledge and better treatment is developed for breast cancer. As one of these women who also has a daughter, I am incredibly grateful to you and very moved by your integrity. With love always and the biggest hug Loz xxxx
