Update 8 January 2024
As a non swimmer and someone who has never been out of my depth in the ocean before I am now swimming (with incredible coaching, cajoling, support and water safety assistance) up to 900m which is the swim pictured last Saturday. I'd say I cut some corners and missed a buoy and had a few rests so let's call it 500m at least; but it's a lot more than I could have done a couple of months ago.It may not be a big achievement for some but to be frank it's been even harder than I thought and at times I have wanted to give up. Some of you have been very generous to donate already so I will follow through and reach my 1km ocean swim goal one way or another.
If you are able to donate please do so, any amount helps.
If you are interested in fundraising via challenging yourself please let me know, I can guarantee that they cater to all levels and the team that is committed to both supporting cancer research and supporting the community and fitness goals with training and support has been incredible.
Supporting Cancer Research with Can Too Foundation
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!
