Swim the Whitsundays!!!

Auckland

On to the next....

After an amazing time completing OceanSwim Fiji, which was 9km of swimming over 3 days, I am onto the next challenge.... Swim The Whitsundays!!

29th August- 2nd September 2025

"Swimming in some of the most breathtaking spots on the planet: secluded coves, along powdery white beaches, and through crystal-clear waters buzzing with tropical marine life. With up to five guided ocean swims (including a swim at the world-famous Whitehaven Beach)".

Cant wait to spend 4 nights on board the Solway Lass ship and cruise around the big Aussie pond.

Fundraising....

I am fundraising for 'I am Hope', a mental health charity for young people in NZ. While mental health struggles are not new, they are new to young people. The charity works to deliver mental health education in language they understand, from people they can relate to.

Every child deserves to grow up feeling happy, safe and supported!!

Swimming to me is a form of therapy, its where I go to think but also to escape, Swimming, like all exercise, releases endorphins in your brain. I love to swim but I have been lacking a challenge or something to focus my energy on.

Thank you for reading my page and supporting this charity!!
