Given by 64 generous donors in around 9 months

Adding a length to our daily swim for everyday for a whole year.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Starting with 1 length on day 1 and 2 lengths on Day 2, adding a length of our daily swim for a whole year up until day 365 where we will be doing 365 lengths.

We wanted to do something for charity that showed commitment for a year, this conversation happened next to the pool in the middle of summer and someone suggested we do breast stroke lengths of our pool and raise money for breast cancer. Catchy, right?

Well as much as it sounded catchy and despite all of us getting excited, we forgot about winter …

Luckily we have found an indoor pool to continue our challenge through the colder months, however as soon as workable we will be back in our own pool to see out the rest of the challenge.

All donations direct to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.
