It's not long until I swim for Sweet Louise. Please help me support as many New Zealanders living with secondary breast cancer as possible!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
Last year I had the support of many health professionals and supportive organisations during my cancer treatment. I now feel it is time to give back!
I am fundraising for Sweet Louise, a charity which supports women and men living with secondary breast cancer. I will swim 1 kilometre in the King of the Bays Ocean Swim series on April the 18th, something I didn't think I could do after my treatment.
Being a competitive sort of person, I have been training a lot. But I also realise that even though I am coming through the treatment, I am very lucky to be able to well enough to be able to compete in this event, unlike many of those living with secondary breast cancer, their choices are limited.
Thank you so much for supporting me, together we can help New Zealanders live positive lives with secondary breast cancer.
A special thanks to Janie Ogram, my physio, and the staff at Exercise Rehabilitation Clinics at Auckland University for all their professional help, knowledge and encouragement.

I was sent this poem today.
Passion for Life
The path in your life,
may never be straight.
Contain bumps and curves,
where many are great.
Your personal experiences,
have shaped who you are.
Embrace your mistakes,
and each unique scar.
There's always new things,
in life we may learn.
With every page,
and chapter we turn.
There's just one simple,
but very important rule.
Your passion for life,
should be used as your fuel.

Thank you to you all...and of course it is not too late to spread the word for others to donate too.
The donation pages close after the swim.
