I'm training with Can Too for the 1km Ocean Swim!
I am training for an event with Can Too, a health promotion organisation that engages and inspires individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals.
Beginners and experienced athletes alike are given professional coaching as part of a team to run or swim in endurance events- including 10km, half-marathon and marathon runs; as well as ocean swims and triathlons.
In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2014, our Can Too community has supported 19 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.
Thank you for supporting me!
‘It’s so much fun and I can’t believe I’m going to achieve this goal that I never thought possible. A great program and team support is making it possible. You Can Too!’
Thank you to my Sponsors

Well Capt PR so proud of you for facing into and conquoring your 'shark issues'. Just remember that you’re 30 times more likely to be killed by lightning (and your way to small and thin to be a decent meal). Seriously, all the very best.

If you get eaten by a shark I am going to be asking for a refund... that's all I am saying... that and you don't have to swim faster than the shark just faster than the next person!

Go you! If a shark so much as comes nearby to have a sniff, I'll come right over and give it a thump. (Or I'll ask Sas to come and give it a thump if that doesn't work)

Wow, you amaze me! I have that overriding fear of drowning too...probably not helped by the fact that I can't really swim :) Hope you overcome your fears!
