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!
I’ve helped equip 45 researchers with essential lab equipment needed to conduct life-saving research.
A huge thank you and shoutout to my biggest supporter, Kate Burgess for donating $264 to help fund the next cancer breakthrough.

A new ‘pre loved’ piece of sunshine for 31 Aug. The pool was heated so not really a cold plunge but just a bit of fun with my BBB crew. My Daff cap never grows old. Lenny and Walter kept us company in the spa afterwards. These beautiful boys of 4 & 6 have gone through so much trauma. It was good to bring a smile to them.
Friday 22nd Aug
The final Dip for this Daffodil only occurred last night (the Official Daffodil Dip Day) because THE OFFICIAL T-shirt arrive! so, I just had to do one more. It was dark, drizzling and cold but the sunshine came regardless. The Dipping has been more of a joy than a difficulty for me. It has given me more than I anticipated and at a difficult time in my journey, it was welcomed.

A heavy few days of difficult emotions did not hinder the Sunday Dip for this Daffodil. The beach was quiet, the dogs ran madly and the calm, rolling sea was smooth and inviting. The wild weather of the previous days had upended the ocean and many treasures were calling to this beachcomber. A teeny yellow shell was my find. There is much to be found after the storm has passed.

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.
Sunday 20th Jul
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

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.
