I am swimming for a CURE
This March, I am making a splash for cancer research. Cure Cancer’s Swim for a CURE is a swimming fundraiser where every stroke counts in the mission to help fund vital cancer research. Just $75 funds one hour of life-saving cancer research.
Please help me by donating through my page. It only takes a minute, and any money you can give (no matter how large or small) will go a long way to helping me reach my target.
My Swim for a CURE will help fund more vital cancer research projects.
A BIG thank you for helping me make a splash for cancer research and Swim for a CURE!
My Updates
Last swim for 30 kms!
Wednesday 16th Apr Well I did it at last, 30 kms for Cure for Cancer. Last two ocean swims in surf knocked my body around so opted for an 2km swim in the indoor heated pool in Lennox Head. Thank you so much for so many generous donations from family and friends. Together we raised $1,362 to this worthy cause. My focus is now on surfing for our upcoming trip to Bali in July. 🙏💙 Share
Surf’s Up!
Sunday 13th Apr Two swims across the bay in surf. Challenging swims they were. One swim to go to reach 30km target. Have raised $1,204 for Cure for Cancer thanks to generous donations to date. Thank you 🙏
