… swimming to save lives

It’s a challenge. Training to swim 2km or 3km in the ocean. As in life the ocean is unpredictable: one day it is gloriously glassy and inviting, another it’s dark, windy, bumpy and unpleasant.  
But that’s nothing compared to facing a cancer diagnosis. While my swim is over within a hour cancer threatens to rip your life apart for months, or years. It can be devastating on so many levels and we never know if who will be next. In the meantime I keep swimming, and hopefully raising funds for Can Too’s early-career research programs. Every year researchers are making important advances in finding the answers to improve cancer survival rates.  It takes time and it takes money. Thanks for your support. You can read more about the research here: https://www.cantoo.org.au/cancer-research-2022

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!
