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.

My Updates

Another exciting update!

Tuesday 2nd Dec
This morning we were handed an amazing $1000 donation by a lovely group of locals who call themselves 'A Country Way Of Sharing' They run a raffle and a night of country music and dancing to raise money for charity and this time around they chose Nevada as the main recipient! (This time round they have also donated $500 to a local suicide awareness group) Absolutely amazing and we are eternally grateful for their support, and to all the wonderful people who purchased raffle tickets and came along to the event on Friday night.

Day 30!!!

Sunday 30th Nov
Well here we are, last day of this years challenge! We didn't manage to get a final swim in as Nevada was feeling a bit flat, so we rested instead. We would like to thank everyone for following along, supporting us and a special thanks to all who have donated! 1400 and counting!!! What a year! Crushed the 9km and ended up doing 12km!!! Looking forward to doing it all again next year!
