Please donate to my challenge!

The funds I raise from my Daffodil Day Dip challenge will help power world-class cancer research to save lives.

Day 31

Day 31 of dip a day.

Well that's it folks I'm done for the month of August.

Thank you to all those who sponsored me, I persisted with my dips under all sorts of conditions.

Obviously my slight discomfort is nothing to those who are battling this hideous disease and being able to raise funds and awareness of the great job the Cancer council does is a privilege.

Well done to all the other dippers, see you all next year xxxx
