In August, I’ll be plunging into cold water for the almost 1 in 2 Australians who have been touched by cancer.

🌼 I'm taking the plunge for Daffodil Day! 🌊

This year, I’ve signed up for the Daffodil Day Dip Challenge — and yes, that means braving the cold water — all to raise vital funds for life-saving cancer research.

Cancer has touched my life more times than I ever imagined. At just 19, while pregnant with my first baby, I was diagnosed with melanoma. During that terrifying time, doctors also found a lump in my groin, which was removed alongside the melanoma.Since then, I’ve had five basal cell carcinomas removed and battled through cervical cancer. My journey has been far from easy, and it’s not just mine.

💔 I lost my beautiful mum to lung cancer. When she was just 50.

💔 My husband’s dad also passed away after a battle with bowel cancer.

💔 My husband also went through the battle of bowel cancer at age 30 and survived.

This challenge isn’t just about the dip — it’s about honouring those we've lost, supporting those still fighting, and backing the brilliant minds working every day to find a cure.

If you’re able, please consider donating — every dollar goes toward world-class cancer research that saves lives.

No amount is too small. 

Thank you 

💛Nic

Beautiful sunset

 I  picked up Laura, and we headed to the foreshore.  It was an amazing winter day in Busselton. So, we decided to plunge at the small jetty again. The visibility was terrible, and the water was dark and murky.We chose our little spot on the jetty. We had onlookers that moved closed to watch us get in.As it was low tide, we decided to stand on the ladder and drop in. Instantly, the cold hits you, my leg, I thought, hit Laura. No, it wasn't Laura 😫flight or flight kicks in, and you want to jump straight out, but if you calm down, you'll surprise yourself. The feeling after is exhilarating.

One called Friday in Busselton

Laura and I (Nicole), took our first cold plunge. OMG! It was fresh. The morning sunrise was absolutely 💯, but the water was freezing 🥶 We both did it though and felt awake and amazing after for taken our first plunge.
