In August, I’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 I raise from my Daffodil Day Dip challenge will help power world-class cancer research to save lives.

Final dip with friends in honour of Keri

Saved the last dip to 24/8 to honour our friend’s birthday . Dips 1&2 were in honour of the memory of Tony and Bob who were also lost this year . Both lived in FNQ & both thought I was bonkers to swim here in Melbourne ! 😘😘😘

Tuesday 18th Aug

Dip 2 !

Took advantage of the warmer day for my second dip … hadn’t thought the tide would be out so far though !! Bit of a walk to get to swim depth 🫢

Sunday 2nd Aug

First August dip !

Thought I’d get the first dip done as such a glorious day in Melbourne and a favourable northerly keeping the bay flat for me !! Was a bit chilly but lovely and clear !

Sunday 26th Jul

Completed practice dip !

I  completed my first dip  18 July ! I was not in daffodil glory and just slipped into the bay  unnoticed but was a glorious day and a refreshing dip ! As not August does not register so let’s hope for calm  warm weather in August !
