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.

19/20 dips

The fundraising has definitely motivated me, and I feel great after all the swimming I've done this month. I knew I wanted to swim in August, but with the weather we've had, there's no way I would've been swimming this many times without participating in the challenge. The water has been pretty cold on some days, but the cool wind has been the hardest thing to manage. I'm feeling pleased with all the winter swimming, and also the money I've raised. Thank you everyone for your sponsorship and encouragement.

Woonona Rockpool was cleaned last week, thank you Wollongong council, today it was a balmy 16 degrees in the water! 

Tuesday 19th Aug

Beautiful swim

A beautiful swim in the rain today, it was very cold but there was a spectacularly dark gloomy sky brightened with a rainbow, and a sea eagle spotting.

Why

An extra incentive to stay in the cold water through the chilliest month! I already know I feel great when I get my cold salty water swims in - but sometimes it’s really hard to talk myself into it at this time of year.. So, I saw this challenge for a great cause and thought, a bit of extra motivation won’t go astray! 

Thank you to our Supporters
