Thomas Reid

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 first ocean swim!

Thursday 18th Sep

This February, I'm swapping my comfort zone for the surf at Mona Vale to swim my first 1km ocean swim. I’m doing it to raise money for cancer research.

The reality is, cancer impacts almost everyone. It has touched my own family, and with 1 in 2 of us likely to be diagnosed in our lifetime, the need for more effective treatments has never been more urgent.

By supporting my swim, you're not just helping me get across the finish line; you're directly funding the innovative work of early-career cancer researchers through the CanToo Foundation. These are the minds that will discover the next breakthroughs.

I'm aiming to raise $1,200. Please consider donating to my page and joining me in the fight to change the statistics.

Thank you so much for your support!
