Daffodil Day Dip 2025

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. 

Hi I know several people going through treatment for cancer at the moment, and also who have gone through it in the past - too many to list sadly.  We ALL have people in our lives who are either survivors, being treated, or that we have so tragically lost to this disease.I’m doing this in memory of my dear mum, Pamela Perks who died so young in 1983 aged 53, and my father Geoffrey who died aged  83, both of them from cancer; also my sister Carolyn who has survived breast cancer.  

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 if you can 💛 🌼

Swimming cap received - pics to follow! … maybe 🤔

I’m on my way to sorting my Dip outfit… got my daffodil swim cap today. 

Another milestone today in  that I surpassed my goal thanks to another very generous donation. 🫶🏼I’m feeling a little guilty as I’ve not actually done a dip yet… so I’ve increased my goal dips to 5., and will find some  areas closer to home  (to add to the Inverloch Victoria venue in mid to late August.  Wherever I choose, Victorian waters in August will be C O L D  🥶🥶🥶   Keep posted for my first Perks Plunge for Cancer Council.

Perks Plunge

So happy to have a dear friend doing the dip with me! I can’t believe donations are already nearing my target and the Dip is not until August (date tbc),  so I decided to double my target 🤣… i think I may pledge to do multiple dips. It’s the least I can do. Venue is still Inverloch, Victoria - either the surf beach or inlet, depending on the wintery weather ❄️🌊
