2027 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

A personal note

Wednesday 30th Sep
2026 has been one of the hardest and most challenging years of my life. It has been a year that has made me stop, reflect and really think about what matters to me- and perhaps more importantly, how short and precious life is. 

This year, I lost my father to cancer. Losing a parent changes you in ways that are difficult to put into words. It has made me think a lot about time and the time we have to live our life to the fullest while we can. I want to make an effort to do more of the things I think about while time is ticking away.
I spend quite some time around the water and in the ocean, so I feel getting comfortable in the water is important, especially after experiencing a panic attack at Maroubra beach few years back which left me frightful of swimming in the open water. With cantoo I know I will overcome this fearful state 

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