Challenges and Fears

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

Friends have asked me why I’ve taken up this swimming challenge well these loved ones who I have lost and many more are my inspiration.

Mum breast cancer

Father-in-Law lung cancer

Lisa 49 years old pancreatic cancer

So I asked myself what can I do to help raise funds for cancer research. I decided to conquer one of my biggest fears “sharks. To do this I’ve taken up Ocean Swimming as previsouly I rarely went out past my waist when I went to the beach.

Ocean swimming is amazing and exhilarating. 

The events I’ve completed so far are:

Sydney Harbour Splash 1km

Newport Pool to Peak 2km

Cole Classic Manly 1km

Malabar Magic 2km 

My next events are

Coogee Island Swim 2.4km

South Maroubra Ocean Swim 500m and 2.5km

Thank you to those who have already donated to this great cause. Any donation big or small is greatly appreciated to help me reach my target.

Thank Gill
