My goal - swim 30km and raise money for breast cancer research!

Hello,

This November, I’ve committed to swim 30km to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research. In Australia, nine people a day lose their lives to breast cancer. I want to play my part, in supporting vital breast cancer research, to help save lives.

On Nov 12, 2025, it will be seven years since I completed my active Breast Cancer treatment. That was; surgery, 16 rounds of chemo and 24 radiation treatments. Then followed hormone suppressing tablets, that finally finished on March 25 this year. Due, in part, to the tablets' affect on bone density.

I was fortunate that my Breast Cancer was treatable and I had HUGE support from loving family, friends and church family. I also had access to excellent Cancer Care services and support.

I've come out of the experience of having Breast Cancer doing OK. But that’s MY experience of Breast Cancer. However, NO two people who get Breast Cancer have the same experience.

My goal is to raise at least $300 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, to fund life-saving breast cancer research and achieve their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

Please sponsor me, if you are able. To me, this is like my ‘giving-back’ challenge, so other people’s lives can be improved and saved!
