Baby, it's cold out there!

Winter swimming. Eighteen degrees in the water, eight degrees on the shoreline where you get dressed. It's a challenge but nothing that a bucket of hot water for the feet, a warm bottle of water to drink, an organised dressing routine , a shot of Fireball and good swimming buddies can't cure. Winter water is clear and a little calmer and that feeling of crispness is amazing. Heading to warmer waters for a month but back for a month of chilliness before the spring sets in. Just keep swimming!

I'm supporting cancer research and prevention with Can Too Foundation. 

1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. This means that potentially someone we love may have to battle cancer, and that's a statistic that needs to change. 

So I asked myself, "what can I do to help?" That's where the Can Too Foundation came in! Can Too provides professionally coached training programs for participants of any fitness level to run, swim and cycle their way to a healthier lifestyle and a cancer-free world. 

In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care, and control of cancer. Since 2005, Can Too Foundation has trained over 18,000 participants and raised over $25,000,000 to invest in over 200 one-year cancer research grants.

It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me, or even better join me in a program!

Thank you for your support!
