I'm swimming to support sick kids and their families.

My Activity Tracking

kms

My target 9 kms

This November, I'm swimming for Sick Kids!

I'm taking part in Swim for Sick Kids this November to support seriously ill and injured children and their families.

For sick kids staying at Ronald McDonald House in Randwick, they just want their families close as they battle childhood diseases, illnesses and injuries.

On average, it costs $190 to support a sick child and their family for one night at the House. The families stay for FREE so they can focus on what is most important, their sick child.

Please support me and help keep families together as they face the most difficult journey of their lives.

Together, we can show these brave and courageous kids that we're fighting for them.

Thank you.

I DID IT AND SOME!

Wednesday 26th Nov
I did my last swim today, completing 500 m at the Ulladulla Leisure Centre. 

I’d have to count it again but I think I did 10.75 km. My goal was 9 km. 

I did it!! 

I’m not doing any more swimming because I’m scheduled to have surgery but I will definitely participate again if this is held again, and I’m all fit and well again. 

Did it for the Sick kids!! 

I DID IT!

Monday 24th Nov
Today I achieved and Surpassed my goal of 9 km swimming a total of 9.5 km.

I have two more days to swim before I must stop due to having surgery at the end of the week. 

I feel a really great sense of achievement because I originally said out to swim 6 km.

I thank  all my  donors very much for their support. I’m feeling very fit and I have used these swims also as strength building  pre-rehab exercises.
I’m looking forward to participating in more in the future. 

I think I can, I know I can

Saturday 15th Nov
Last Friday completed my longest swim that I’ve ever done, completing 1.2 km in one go. 
Last year, I would not have considered myself a swimmer, but I think I can now. 
Feels great to be raising money for the sick kids but also physically I feel great, and I’m feeling a sense of achievement every week. Wonderful feeling. 

I have now completed a total of 7.3 km out of the 9 km that I promised I would do

6km goal achieved

Friday 7th Nov
I achieved my original goal of 6 km so now because I’ve had lots of donations and gone over my fundraising goal as well I’m going to go on to do 9 km in November 

Starting my 6km today
