BIG thank you!

💗 A big THANK YOU to everyone getting behind Charlie! 🏊‍♀️

As Charlie continues her Swim for Breast Cancer challenge, we wanted to take a moment to thank some pretty amazing people who are helping us turn her fundraising ideas into reality.

💗 Belgravia Leisure – For generously supporting our upcoming events and helping us bring the community together. If you've been thinking about swimming lessons, season passes or aqua fitness classes, get in touch with the team at the Port Pirie Swimming Centre and see what they have to offer!

💗 Hon. Geoff Brock MP – For taking the time to meet with Charlie, encouraging her ideas and helping us connect with the wider community.

💗 Adrian Simmons, our Quizmaster – For generously donating your time and talents to help make our Music Bingo & Quiz Night a great night out!

💗 Port Pirie Trots – For getting behind Charlie and supporting her fundraising efforts.

💗 5AU Radio – For helping us spread the word over the radio and getting Charlie's fundraising events out to the wider community!

💗 Our local schools and sporting clubs – For sharing our fundraising events with families, members and the wider community.

💗 Charlotte's family – For jumping in, volunteering, donating prizes, organising events and backing her all the way.

💗 And to EVERYONE who has donated, bought lucky squares, attended our events or shared Charlie's fundraising efforts – thank you!

🏊‍♀️ Interested in getting involved in swimming? Reach out to the Port Pirie Amateur Swimming Club and come join us! We'd love to see more children and families getting involved in our little swimming community.

What started as a 10-year-old wanting to use her love of swimming to help fund breast cancer research has grown into something the whole community can be part of.

We're not finished yet, with our Music Bingo & Quiz Night and Community Continuous Swim still to come!

We're hoping Charlie takes away more than just a fundraising total. We want her to see what can happen when people give their time, support each other and work together for something bigger than themselves.

Thank you all for being part of that experience. 💗

Day 1

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.
