10 day countdown
Only 10 days to go til the Big Swim and I'm behind in my fund raising which could be a big problem as I need to hit my target to get a "CanToo" cossie to wear on the day.
Through injury and sickness I'm probably the least prepared Ive been but I am committed to completing the swim, all 2.8km of it, just hope I'm not doing it in the nude and with any sharks
Sharks in NSW
This will be the toughest swim I have attempted so far. Not only are my thoughts constantly with my brother whenever I am training in the ocean, the significant increase in shark sightings and attacks in NSW is really, really scary!!!
I guess the only positive about the increased number of sharks around is that it might make me swim faster!!!!
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

I'm fishing on the day of your swim so there's no chance of seeing anything in the water that day resembling a fish! Enjoy the swim.
