Putting the fun into fundraiser

I recently held a bake sale fundraiser and raised a total of $300! This will be put towards a future goal swim so it’s looking likely that I’ll take part in some summer ocean swims.

Thank you to all my colleagues for their generous donations and huge thanks to my supportive SWSC team members who contributed the baked goods including cookies, brownies and chocolate crackles. 

A pleasant surprise has been connecting with people across the organisation - ex-CanTooers, enthusiastic pool and oceans swimmers and those wanting to learn to swim as adults. 

Thank you to everyone who’s been along for the ride - the coaches, fellow CanTooers, water safety people, Wednesday Swim Squadders, my sponsors and any one who made a donation :)

Temperatures are dropping but I'll continue swimming and fundraising over winter!

In case you missed it

I'm supporting cancer research and prevention with Can Too Foundation.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This means that potentially someone we love may have to battle cancer, and that's a statistic that needs to change. 

So I asked myself, "what can I do to help?" That's where the Can Too Foundation came in! Can Too provides professionally coached training programs for participants of any fitness level to run, swim and cycle their way to a healthier lifestyle and a cancer-free world. 

In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care, and control of cancer. Since 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 22,000 participants and raised over $30,000,000 to invest in over 150 cancer research grants.

It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me, or even better join me in a program!

Thank you for your support!
