“I support the Swim for CURE campaign because it aligns with my personal experiences and values. As a two-time Olympic medalist from the Paris Olympics, I believe in using my platform for important causes. Losing a loved one to cancer has deeply impacted me, highlighting the critical need for awareness and prevention. By participating, I hope to honor their memory and contribute to the fight against cancer, helping to create a future where fewer lives are affected by this devastating disease.”

"I couldn't be prouder to represent such an important cause. My twin brother has previously suffered from cancer, so that word always sparks emotion in me. Swimming has always been such an important part of Australian culture. The Swim for a CURE campaign allows any Australian from elite to beginner to participate in raising not only money but awareness to fight for our loved ones and other Australians."
Sam Short

“Supporting Cure Cancer’s Swim for a CURE campaign is deeply personal to me. My father is currently battling cancer, and seeing his strength and resilience has truly lit a fire within me. As an Australian open water swimmer, I draw inspiration from the incredible strength of those battling cancer. By raising awareness and funds, I hope to contribute to a future where fewer families have to face this battle.
Every stroke we take brings us closer to a cure.”

"I am incredibly honoured to be an ambassador for Cure Cancer’s Swim for a CURE. Cancer has deeply impacted my family, my Sister, Aunt, and Nanna have all faced this disease with incredible strength, resilience, and courage. Watching them fight through the toughest moments has inspired me more than words can say. Their battles have taught me the power of determination, strength and the importance of hope. That’s why I’m diving in, not just for them, but for everyone who has fought, is fighting, and will fight this battle.
By participating in this amazing cause, I hope to inspire others, support life-saving research, and make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Together, we can make a difference."
