Hi all into my 5th week of swimming I training for the 1kim ocean swim which will happen at Bondi at the end of January 2015 .The distance is not significant when you looking at my sisters Maryellen and Margaret as they pound through the water weekly .However for a lazy person like me it’s a challenge ! I have started my training and you will be pleased to know in my swimming pod of trainees I'm coming last @ at the back of the pack See the photo Im the one at the back However I am planning to advance one place as I compete with John Fallon (from Galway) who has never really had a chance to swim a lot before. In fact, he only learnt to swim six weeks ago as it’s a bit cold off the coast of Ireland. He thinks I've got half a chance as he finds it difficult not to drink half the pool and ocean each weekly training session. In fact if you go into my blog and I'm close to the target please donate to my fellow ‘podettes ‘ John Fallon Andy MacDonald and the others (when I get their surnames}- they deserve it for effort. The funds are for cancer research and the details are on the Cantoo website. If you want to sponsor please do ! I appreciate lots of you have specific charities you are committed to or previously you have been hit by others in my family completing similar quests - So no pressure It’s my birthday (3rd December ) and Christmas ( 25th Dec in case your forgotten) and if by coincidence you were planning on giving me a present - just make a donation

I'm training with Can Too for the 1km Ocean Swim!
Hi Anyone that read this.................................. I am training weekly in the local pool and then at the end of January will do an ocean swim @ bondi to raise funds for Can Too, a health promotion organisation that allocates funds for cancer. So far,Mary Ellen and Alice, member of my family,have participated in earlier Can Too events.
The primary purpose behind th swim is to raise funds for the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2014, Can Toohad raised enough funds to support 19 early career researchers. ‘It’s a good challenge and I hope to be able to swim 1 km at least and if I try hard with the training I might give 2 kms a go ! If you haven't already fully committed your annual donations ( I know most of you do donate to lots of different causes) it would be great if you could help me raise some funds
Thank you to my Sponsors
