What a Season!!!

Can't believe the summer program is officially over!  My fourth official Can Too (with some squads thrown in for good measure) And as usual, It's been wonderful experience. Biggest achievement..I made it from Palm to Whale beach on my own steam!  But there are so many stories of people fighting their fears and winning...not just newbies but veteran Can Tooers as well.The best part is we're always surrounded by this incredible community that backs you every step of the way. And at the pointy end of the deal...thanks to you, I've raised over $8 thousand dollars that will help fund young cancer researchers hopefully some day find a cure for this disease that touches us all. And  like my personal swimming challenges, the challenge for better outcomes needs constant funding so every dollar you donate is so appreciated. As always, ever grateful for your support.

Baby, it's cold out there!

Winter swimming. Eighteen degrees in the water, eight degrees on the shoreline where you get dressed. It's a challenge but nothing that a bucket of hot water for the feet, a warm bottle of water to drink, an organised dressing routine , a shot of Fireball and good swimming buddies can't cure. Winter water is clear and a little calmer and that feeling of crispness is amazing. Heading to warmer waters for a month but back for a month of chilliness before the spring sets in. Just keep swimming!

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 18,000 participants and raised over $25,000,000 to invest in over 200 one-year 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!
