Daffodil Day Dip 2025

In florals and Tutu I’ll be plunging into cold water for more than just the joy of it!

No doubt you've loved someone through cancer, lost someone to it or survived it yourself. This is why I'm dipping. To celebrate Mum, my sister, Tatiane and others in my circle who survived it, for Karen and Lisa who battled hard and for Lucas who is undergoing treatment now. 

The funds I raise from my Daffodil 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! 💛 OR JOINING ME FOR A DIP!

Murky Pool Plunge

Our murky winter pool was brightened by daffodils 🌼 A poignant encouragement to show up in someone’s cancer journey, even when we don’t know what to say or do.

Southern WA Coastal Dips

A spontaneous trip down south with my friend (and cancer survivor) called for 3 dips over our 3 days. It was great to see them all rugged up against the wind as I tackled the swell (surprisingly pleasant temp). I was asked “How do you make yourself go in when it’s so cold?” I explained it’s really just ‘mind over matter’ and so much easier than what every cancer patient has to battle every day of and post treatment. What is a little cold water going to do to me long term? Nothing! So I will embrace the discomfort and help Cancer Council to continue to find solutions for life’s bigger challenges. Let me know if I can Daffodil Dip on your behalf!  Small donations are most encouraged. Thank you x

Dipping Begins

Winter waves with the dogs and the husband were choppy but we never regret a salt water dip…especially when it’s a Daffodil Dip.
