Dip #12 The final Day!!
Today I completed another 10 laps at Woonona pool for the final day of winter and the official last day of Daffodil dip season. It had been such a thrill and a wonderful way to do something I love for a great cause in honour of my Mum. I also want you to acknowledge my friends and colleagues over the years who have had to face the battle of cancer in its many forms. I hope that all of the money raised through this even will go towards well needed research and support services needed for those who have to face this challenge. Getting a little cold throughout winter is nothing compared to the challenge if facing this disease so it has Ben both an honour and a pleasure!! 🏊♀️💛

It’s officially Cold Plunge season (but my 7rh cold plunge since starting) and what better way to kick it off on what would have my Mum’s 80th birthday. I completed 10 laps at Wombarra Rock Pool, which was Mum’s favourite playground as a little girl.

Dip #3
I completed my 3rd winter swim at Woonona Rock Pool today. After a week fighting off the flu I stuck to my usual 8 laps. Hope to make it to 10 laps next week when I’m feeling a little better. Hopefully the incoming wild weather passes quickly so I can hopefully complete 2 more swims next week.

Thankyou for what you are doing . Cancer council was a God send when I was first diagnosed they were able to connect me with much needed counselling and support for the first 6 months of my diagnosis. Now 2.5 years on and have stable disease I have learnt how to cope in a more healthier way and still have a lot of fight in me . Thank you and keep going !!!
