Greek Islands Swim Trek 2

Here we go!

As some of you may already know, last year I embarked on a journey into ocean swimming, culminating in a 1km race. This year, I'm taking it up quite a notch by participating in an Open Water Swim Trek in the Greek Islands, all in support of a cause very dear to my heart: cancer research.

I'm thrilled to be raising funds again for the Can Too Foundation, an organisation that has been making significant strides in cancer research since 2005. With over $25,000,000 raised, their mission is clear: to enable and assist fundraising efforts that support innovation in the prevention, care, and control of cancer. 

Now, you might think a week swimming in the Greek Islands sounds like a vacation (and, truth be told, I won't complain about the scenery), but there's serious work to be done. Each day, I'll be pushing my limits with two to three open water swims, ranging from 2km to 3.5km each. It's not just about fun and games; it's about putting myself to the test to raise vital funds for cancer research.

The Swim Trek is set for the first week of September, and I've set myself a fundraising goal of $3500. I would be incredibly grateful for your support in this endeavor. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer.

Thank you for considering joining me in this worthy cause. Together, we can make a real impact.

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!
