  • Swim Update

    Just a quick update to say that unfortunately the weather hasn’t provided an opportunity for Danielle to swim. She’s on standby for the next opportunity that comes up. Cross your fingers and hope for calm waters…

    After a year of training, Danielle is ready to tackle this epic swim, and she is on standby for the right conditions on Lake Taupō. You can follow her swim on the day here on instagram:

    Thank you for all your generosity in supporting Dementia NZ, and of Danielle’s goal of doing hard mahi in support of whānau and caregivers doing hard mahi. Please help spread the word, as donations on the day will really help her mentally to push on when the grind kicks in.

    In the meantime, you can listen to Danielle talk about the swim on this podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/77dwvf9Z4CQjSJldsw8zBF?si=2xL3BW8ESIKcUBwOp5W0pA

    Fingers crossed for calm waters any day now…

    Lorna (and Danielle)

    💙
