As you may be aware my sisters partner (her soul mate and all round stunning human) Beau Thomas was recently diagnosed with a grade 4 Brain Tumour. His medical prognosis is not good, but there is opportunity and, this is a love story...

My 'Dory- just keep swiming' campaign is to raise funds for my sister Natasha (tash) to be with Beau, to travel to explore cutting edge alternative treatment options, spend quality time, make memories togther including with beau's gorgeous daughter (just turned 6yrs!) . Beau has a fantastic community around him who have started a seperte gofundme campaign for him and his little girl. As they say, behind every great man, there is a great(er?) woman. I am sure that anyone that knows tash would agree.. they dont come any more special than Tash. She is a Rock.

So I am swimming 100km during the month of October...25km every week. For the sceptics (you know who you are) I can confirm that this will be acheived witout motorised propulsion devises (eg. outboard, jetski)... just pure shoulder power. This means hitting the pool 5 times a week, from tommorrow 1 October, to clock an average of 5km per day, swiming 25km every week.

How you can sponsor my swim:

GoFundMe operates on direct donations, Please donate as little, but ideally as much as you can!

As added motivation I would love it if you can 'sponsor' my kms. i.e.

$1 for every Kilometre I swim.

$5 per Kilometre...

$10 per Kilometre...

$20 per Kilometre...

$50 per Kilomotre..

I can promise the hurt on your hip pocket is nothing compared to the hurt my shoulders are about to feel. Every dollar raised goes directly to Natasha to allow her to take time away from work, travel with Beau for treatment, and of course spend quality time and make memories.

I will be posting my smartwatch data and pool updates here and on social media every week so you can track my progress.

Thankyou in advance. Wish me luck (and bouyancy!)
