My Updates
I'm training with Can Too for the 1km Ocean Swim!
Tuesday 7th Oct
Living on a beautiful ocean beach in Sydney, Australia it's always, since I moved to Manly in 2003, been a dream to me to be brave enough to swim the 1km swim from Manly to Shelly beach and back (as you can see on the photo here).
Every day hundreds of people do this beautiful swim but I've been too afraid of the thousands of fish and small sharks you encounter on the way and I've never learnt howto manage the the currents, rips and waves along the way.
Then I found out about Can Too!
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, to Swim Manly to Shelly beach and back by the 25th of January.
A great program and team support is making it possible. You Can Too!’
Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards my goal
