Winter Solstice 2025

We had our biggest group attend our Winter Solstice swim this year. I think many were drawn I'm by the beautiful mulled gin in keep cups as we floated around 🍹🐤
In August, we’ll be plunging into cold water for the almost 1 in 2 Australians who will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.
Please donate to my challenge!
The funds we raise from my Daffodil Day Dip challenge will help power world-class cancer research to save lives.
Your support means so much to me. Please help create a cancer free future by donating to my fundraiser now! 💛
