Sponsored Whakatipu Legend swim for Otepoti Dunedin Whanau Refuge.

Otago

On 22nd March I'll be swimming in the Whakatipu Legend Queenstown Swim. This will be my first long distance open water swim for a while and to make matters worse, I entered the "no wetsuit" category. When I jump off the TSS Earnslaw and start the 4km course, I'll be swimming towards the safe haven of Queenstown. Whilst doing so, I'd like to raise some funds for a much more important safe haven - the Otepoti Dunedin Whanau Refuge. Please give generously to this important organisation which really does offer the only port of call for some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

Thanks to everyone who supported this campaign. I had a great time doing the swim and we raised about $2,000 for the Whanau Refuge. Your generosity is awesome. Thanks again.
