2027 Summer Ocean Swim

I have been supporting cancer research and the health of people in Australia since 2008, when I signed up for my first Can Too swim program after my older much loved sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. 

Roughly 1 in 2 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. This is a statistic that we need to change. 

So, I decided to take on a personal challenge with the support of CanToo, to raise funds  that could be life-changing for many people. 100% of the funds I raise through your generous donation goes to supporting the ongoing health promotion work CanToo provides, and funding incredible, innovative early-career cancer researchers. Researchers in all forms of cancer . 

We desperately need to find more solutions to cancer, from prevention, to treatment, and ultimately a cure. 

This program means a lot yo me as I am swimming in honour of a beloved bestie, Vikki Louise Lee, who lost her gallant and brave fight against cancer in March 2026. We’ve been good mates since July 1981. 

Please support me on my continuing journey with CanToo and in honour of Vikki Lee by donating to my fundraising page today!

Thank you for your support!
