Wow - Thank You!!!!!
Today I did my first ever competition event for charity - and loved it. Best thing by far is the $6,730 my amazing family, friends and colleagues have donated!
Your generousity has been unbeleivable, and I honestly cannot thank each and every one of you enough!
Today I completed 2.75 km in 51minutes 25secs - and I look forward to knocking that out of the ballpark on the next event.
I must also aknowledge the guy that got me into this - Derry Cosgrave. This guy couldn't swim with his head below water 12 weeks ago, and today completed this event in 1hr 4 mins.
He is a true testimate to selflessness and determination.
Jono's 'Big Ocean Swim' for Cancer Research and Awareness
I'm training with Can Too for the 2/2.5km 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
