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!

 

My Updates

Swimming past the waves!

Tuesday 18th Nov
I wanted to do this cantoo swim to get past my fear of swimming past the waves and going where my feet can’t touch the floor! Since moving to Australia I’ve watched my children overcome their fears and go out into the deep so now it’s my turn to learn how to do it! We are already 2 weeks in and I’ve already managed to get out deeper than I ever thought I would and even though it was scary I did it! Doing it for a good cause makes me even more determined to succeed! 

Thank you to everyone who has made a donation towards my goal
