2027 Summer Ocean Swim

Myself and my friends who have been diagnosed with cancer

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

The Starting Gun Is About To Fire...This Tortoise Is Off!

Monday 2nd Nov
Week one of training is upon us...November has arrived and with it is the first week of CanToo swim training. This week I'll be asked to prove my 'proficiency' in the pool needing to complete 200m in 8 minutes, float for 45 seconds, and tread water for 45 seconds. 

I must pass this proficiency assessment to join the beach session on Saturday.

Logic tells me I can do this but fear tells me I can't. We shall see!

It's been a while since the last time I did CanToo (in fact it was in 2011 prior to my close encounter with breast cancer) and if we're using the tortoise and hare analogy I am the unofficial team captain of the tortoises!!!

In more positive news I'm getting close to the halfway mark of my fundraising target...thank you to the tortoise supporters amongst you. 

I promise to share some fetching shots of me in my new and improved 2026 CanToo cossie if you jump onboard the fundraising bandwagon to help me get closer to my goal.

I shall be sure to update you on my attainment of the proficiency goal in next weeks instalment.
