Today was the final day of the Cancer Council’s Daffodil month of August.I sincerely thank my friends near & far for your love and support & for my donors, a couple anonymous, for your donations, which helped me exceed my fund raising targets.This has been such a personal journey, I have been able to share with you,  and I’m so proud of me for exceeding my expectations! 

I did it & so proud of me!The water was not as clear as I was hoping & could have been a little warmer than 20c, as I had pins & needles afterwards, however no pain no gain!Have exceeded my expectations & have nearly reached my revised fundraising goal…

My final Daf Day Dip is looming !!

I’ll be dipping at 11.30am between the flags at Main Beach, Byron Bay on Thursday 28 August.

The forecast is for a glamour day -  24 degrees & water temperature  I’m hoping a balmy 20 degrees😁

Come along & cheer me on or join me for a dip!

I’ll be the one in my fabulous Daffodil swim cap 😘💋😎

Although unable to participate today, I was there in spirit!

Was hoping for another dip on the actual Dip Day, however having had my Chemo IV on Monday I’m extremely sensitive to the cold at the moment, with pins & needles in fingers & feet & left arm.Unfortunately I’m unable to undertake this additional dip, however I encourage you to donate, no matter how small, to help me reach my revised goal; I’m only $232 away!A huge thank you to all those donors to date 🙏🏼My next scheduled Daf Day Dip is set down for 11.20am at Main Beach Byron Bay on Thursday 28 August 💪🏻

It’s a glamour day in the Bay (Byron Bay)☀️😎The dolphins 🐬 are playing & the water temp is 20 degrees Celsius Wandered down onto Clarkes Beach & found a family to take a video of my second dip. Turns out they are from the UK visiting family in Sydney & wanted to escape the rain so headed north for a week - couple of days in Byron then off to the Gold Coast. Matt was my awesome videographer & donated $20 to my fundraising campaign. He informed me his wife has come through breast cancer!THANK YOU Matt & family for making my day 🙏🏼

My second Daf Dip is coming up tomorrow at Clarkes Beach, Byron Bay.  Now going to meet in the Clarkes Beach Car Park at 10.30am rain, hail or shine and I've just checked the water temp and it's a balmy 20 degrees - YAY!  Will definitely be having a nice hot chocolate afterwards at Beach Cafe, so come and cheer me along...

It was a beautiful sunny morning 19c when I plunged into the invigorating waters of the Byron Springs Guesthouse pool; I reckon between 10-15c brrrr. Certainly colder than the ocean temp at 22cAfter completely submerging myself into the almost freezing Antarctic waters, and had brain freeze for two days, I chose not to put my head under this morning, as I’m still undergoing preventative chemo & am sensitive to the cold!  I did experience pins & needles all over, however that quickly dissipated with a nice hot shower.It’s f#*king great to be alive & do my bit for cancer research!One down two to go…

Hi peepsAs I’ve already reached & exceeded my initial target of $1000 thanks to those who have already donated, I’ve now increased my target goal to $2000!My first Daf Day Dip is only a couple of hours away, so stay tuned for happy snaps & a further update…BRING IT ON!!!

Hi allDue to big swells & poor water quality I’m changing location to undertake my first Daf Day Dip!I’m now dipping at 10am in the pool (which I helped design) at Byron Springs Guest House.I believe the water temp is bloody cold, however as I’ve said, if I can & survived an Antarctic Polar Plunge, I can do this!!Please join me; or watch me!My fabulous Daffodil  Day swim cap will certainly lift my spirits & brighten my morning… look out for the fab photosThank you Susie for helping me achieve my goals xx

As I’m currently undergoing preventative chemo, I’m sensitive to the cold, however my intention is to carry out three daf day dips over the month of August.

My planned dips as follows:-

Thursday 7 August @ 6.45am on the incoming high tide at Torakina Beach Brunswick Heads

Tuesday 12 August @ 10.20am on the incoming high tide at Clarkes Beach Byron Bay

Thursday 28 August @ 11.20am on the incoming high tide at Main Beach Byron Bay

If I did the Polar Plunge in Antarctica I can achieve 3 Daffodil Day Dips to raise all important funds for cancer research!! 💪🏻

PS I’ll be the one in my fabulous  limited edition Daffodil Day swim cap 😁
