Another amazing program come to an end.
To all my friends, family and supporters.
Thank you again for sponsoring me and helping to find a cure for cancer. Together (in all across all the Can Too programs) the participants and supporters who have raised over $17 million to fund cancer research.
This year I had the honour of being a mentor to the newest Can Too pod (Monday at Monte).
I have to say this has been great fun and has been something I would recommend to anyone.
I will be putting my name in the hat again to see if I can mentor again.
It has been fun.
So, what's next?
I had planned on swimming at Bondi to finish off the program. Unfortunately, I will not be able to swim on the day - so I get the big camera zoom lens out and snap away.
See you at the beach.
Ps. thank you to my work mates - who covered me while I ran from the office to the pool. Or looked after the calls when I was swimming. This really helped.
Ryan.
Not long to go - 2.8km OMG!
I am trying not to look at the weather forecast before The Big Swim
If I don’t make it and end up being on the news.
Some please post this photo: https://goo.gl/photos/SGG95RzyPQqrfV4P8
I also want everyone to say: I was a great person who should be honoured with an Order of Australia (you can pick a category – maybe for the fasted to drink a bottle of coke or eat a packet of chips the fastest)
Just make sure I am remembered.
If I make it, forget everything and burn that picture!
A Sea Selfie!
So that is what I look like with my wig off!!!
I am just doing my part to help find a cure for cancer.

Call it my Christmas or birthday gift.
I hope I have not voided my warranty now!
You know how you can't go swimming 40 min after eating... I wonder what it is when someone has stuck needles into you?!
Let's see if I leak at the beach on Saturday. I suspect I am doing between 1 and 3.
Week 2 completed!
Another week completed and this time we swam.
1km swim was 1.3km.
The 2km swim was just over 2.
If I can get my fitness up, I will be fine.
Beach hair report - so far so good!
The bigger concern if forgetting my undies last week and this week my shirt - I spent hours walking around in a rashie miles from the beach
Thank you to my Sponsors
