My Updates
Being In the Ocean - 2026!
Tuesday 7th Apr I've been swimming with Can Too since November 2023 to raise money for early-career cancer research, as well as challenge myself to set and work towards a number of goals.I've done so much in the last few years that a past me would have found unthinkable. I have certainly never considered myself an active or 'sporty' person, yet I've found so much joy and strength and power in this swim training and the ocean swim events.
I've really embraced ocean-swimming, and through moving through and being in the water curiously finding many parallels with my music practices: reflecting a lot on presence, adaptability, courage, acceptance of one's vulnerability... I've been pushing myself to perform and share my own music more since starting Can Too, and have been leaning into this to help me with my fundraising.
After a little pause over summer, I'm back into Can Too for Autumn.
My personal goal swims this season are:
1km Balmoral (Done!)
2.4km Coogee Island (12 April)
2.5km South Maroubra (26 April)
1km + 2km Bondi Blue Water (3 May)
Thanks to all who have supported me so far. I appreciate that everyone's choices and capacities to donate are so varied and personal. You may have your own challenges and experiences with cancer, or with ocean swimming, or with facing something scary, or you may simply feel inspired to give for other reasons. Any amount, small or large, is welcome and appreciated. Feel free to leave a little message if you'd like to share your inspiration for donating.
With love,
Laura.
