2026 Summer Ocean Swim

I'm supporting cancer research and the health of people in Australia 

Roughly 1 in 2 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. This is a statistic that we need to change. 

So, I've decided to take on a personal challenge with the support of CanToo, to raise funds along the way that could be life-changing. From supporting the ongoing health promotion work CanToo provides, to funding incredible, innovative early-career cancer researchers.

We desperately need to find more solutions to cancer, from prevention, to treatment, and ultimately a cure. Please support me on my journey with CanToo by donating to my fundraising page today!

Thank you for your support!

Day 2 at the beach for training

Sunday 9th Nov
That's a wrap on Day 1 of beach training! What an absolute dream of a session. ??

?Woke up ready to tackle the ocean and ended up crushing a 1.6km swim! I haven't felt that good in the water for a long time. The conditions were absolutely perfect—small surf, clear water, and the kind of weather you only dream of for a morning workout.

?But honestly, the best part was the energy and support from the Cantoo group. Seriously, surrounded by such an amazing, supportive pod makes the early alarm clock 100% worth it. It's incredible how much easier a tough distance feels when you're swimming alongside encouraging people.

?Feeling strong, sun-kissed, and totally pumped for the rest of the week! If this is how we start, imagine how we'll finish!

Day 1 in the pool

Sunday 9th Nov
Yesterday I made the plunge and joined Can Too for our first night swim at Camden War Memorial Pool. It is a 12 week program that runs on a Wednesday evening at Camden and Saturday morning in Cronulla to train us for our goal event ocean swims.

This is amazing, currently there are 10 people in the Pod. Everyone taking themselves out of their comfort zone to raise funds for Cancer research and improve their own health. We have a mix of people that are new to ocean swimming to the experienced ocean swimmers.

If you are interested in a new challenge we would love you to join us. There is still time. Applications close on 17/12, spots are limited and please let your friends know if you think they may be interested. 

You won’t regret it. It’s a Life changing experience and you are a big part of a Pod of amazing people. 

Just Can Too
