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.

11th Swim Done & I’ve Smashed My Fundraising Goal!

Friday 22nd Nov
Wow! What can I say. The generosity of my friends and family has left me humbled. This morning, the members of my swim squad dug deep and put money in the fee box, all of which Coach Phil donated towards this fundraiser. I am feeling blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life.

10th Swim Done

Thursday 21st Nov
Only 3km left to achieve my distance goal. Lots of tumble turns in a 25 metre pool - good for the core. Now I’m all about the fundraising. Let’s smash it!

9th Swim Cracks the 20km Mark

Thursday 21st Nov
A very rainy day, but every day is a good day in the pool. I cracked the 20km so less than 7km left to reach my distance goal for the month. Today was time trials - don’t they know that this chassis is built for comfort not for speed!

8th Swim Done

Monday 18th Nov
Another beautiful morning in the pool and I’ve added 2km towards my distance goal. I am 74% there! Thinking of all the lovely people who have supported me by donating to my fundraising campaign. 

Fundraising Update

Thursday 14th Nov
Thank you to everyone who has donated to help me achieve my $500 fundraising goal. I have decided to raise my total goal to $750, and I am excited to have a chance to raise this new amount.

7th Swim Done

Thursday 14th Nov
I added 2.8km to my swim goal at Dunlop Park Pool at Corinda today. Coach Jai had us thinking of our finger position in the water. I thought swimming was meant to be meditation ?

And I’m halfway to my distance goal
After a 2.2km swim this morning. Loving my new hot pink Breast Cancer Ribbon swim cap that arrived yesterday.

5th Swim Done

Monday 11th Nov
So happy to have reached my fundraising goal. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me in honour of my mother-in-law, June. This great cause always needs more money, so any extra support is always appreciated. Coach Phil is back from watching his son compete in the Kona Iron man in Hawaii. Another 2.2km to my total today.

Another 2km in the pool this morning, including. 4x50 IM. Last coaching session by Hannah - we will see you in the pool with us next week! Good luck to my friends swimming at PanPacs.

3rd Swim Done

Wednesday 6th Nov
Another 2.4km this beautiful morning at the Bellbowrie Pool. Thanks Hannah for pushing us to do some fast 100 metre sprints. I’m now 1/4 of the way to my distance goal for November and this challenge.
