All donations gratefully received and if you wish me to dedicate my dip under the waves to a loved one please add their name/s and feel free to send a photo. This really motivates me to do more plunges in the cold ocean ๐ฅถ๐ฅฐ๐ฉต๐๐ฌ๐ฆญ
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! ๐
Iโve helped equip 32 researchers with essential lab equipment needed to conduct life-saving research.
A huge thank you and shoutout to my biggest supporter, Ken for donating $217 to help fund the next cancer breakthrough.
