Sydney 2km or 2.5km Ocean Swim 2017

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
