My target 40 kms
40km for the patients I look after
Nine people in Australia die from breast cancer every day. This November I’m swimming 40km, in the pool and open water, to raise money for breast cancer research through the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
I’m an emergency physician and retrieval consultant at MedSTAR Retrieval Services in South Australia, and I meet people with breast cancer at some of their hardest moments. In the emergency department it’s often an infection or a treatment complication, when chemo has left them with no immune reserve to fight back. On retrieval, it can mean flying to a country town, starting intensive care on the spot and bringing them back to an Adelaide ICU.
Sometimes it’s a phone call. When I’m the retrieval consultant in the Emergency Operations Centre, I talk rural doctors and nurses through stabilising a patient while our team is on the way. Some of those calls are about helping someone die well, in their own town, with their family close by.
Better research means fewer of those calls.
So I’m swimming. Some of it will be in the ocean, and most of it will be early mornings staring at the black line on the bottom of the local pool.
I signed up for 27km. You gave so generously in the first week that I’ve raised it to 40km. If you can, give $40. That’s a dollar for every kilometre I swim. If you’d like to sponsor a whole kilometre, that’s $100. Whatever you give, thank you.
