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 including many family and friends.

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.

Your support means so much to me. Please help create a cancer free future by donating to my fundraiser now! 💛

I am in tears and so grateful

I just made my donation goal today of $1000 thank to my wonderful friends and family.

I still have 7 more dips to go. I am going to raise my goal and see if together we can make more of a difference towards cancer research.

So happy xoxoxox

Dip #3

Swimming Cap hair is a thing! LOL

Today is a call out to my family to donate if you can. Our family has the BRCA1 gene. This means a lot of us, including me have had to deal with cancer and/or radical cancer prevention. For me this meant a hysterectomy and a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Just in the past few weeks a few more of us have been diagnosed with cancer and are having surgery and treatment. 

This has been happening in our family for generations. Please donate to help with cancer research and put a stop to it. It is heartbreaking.

Dip #2

Sandringham beach for my second swim. I had company in the water from a lovely local lady called Carol and her dog. This time I brought a hot water bottle to tuck into my dry robe and some fleece booties. Both a good idea :)
