Hello all,

Last week, our beloved Tracey sadly passed away after facing cancer with incredible strength. Her loss is being deeply felt by so many families, children, and friends whose lives she touched.

Tracey dedicated her life to teaching kids with disabilities how to swim. Tracey, Chris, and her team created Little Heroes Swim Academy, aka Heroes House. Little Heroes Swim Academy is a not‑for‑profit charity.

Unbeknownst to many, Tracey was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago. She faced her treatment with resilience and continued living life with determination. Although she was receiving the best possible care in hospital, she was no longer able to contribute to her beloved Heroes House in the way she always wished to.

We have organised this GoFundMe for anyone who can donate to keep Little Heroes operating. The funds raised will go towards maintaining and sustaining Little Heroes and, most importantly, give the kids the opportunity to gain confidence in the water, just as Tracey always wanted.

Tracey and the team have made a huge impact on the community and the kids at Heroes House; now it’s our turn to give back to Little Heroes. Every dollar counts in keeping Heroes House operating.

As Chris, Little Heroes Co‑Founder, shared so beautifully:

“I had the privileged first row seat witnessing Tracey's dedication and passion for inclusion. The length and breadth of her reach has been beautifully captured by the many recollections and stories from those fortunate to have experienced her wonderful mix of warmth and fierce determination.

A testament to this determination is that even in her final few weeks, with her energy and strength diminishing, Tracey's focus was still on the well-being of her team and development of our organisation.

We are grateful to her family for their support and providing a platform for people to contribute to Tracey's vision for Little Heroes.

We are not going anywhere. Our own commitment to Little Heroes remaining at the forefront of inclusive swimming for families in need remains resolute, and carrying on Tracey's immense legacy is as strong a motivation as there can be.”

Chris Liu, Little Heroes Co‑Founder
