In August, Iโ€™ll be plunging into cold water for the almost 1 in 2 Australians who will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.ย 

Please donate to my challenge!

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! ๐Ÿ’›
