Why I'm Fundraising:
In 2026, I am committing to completing 4 swims in The Ocean Swim Series. A goal blending my passion for being in water with my desire to support a cause close to my heart.
In 2019 my journey with Ocean Swim began with a 2km swim at Mt Maunganui. Since then, life has thrown me some truly curly hurdles. Earlier this year I returned to the series with a 1km swim in Russell.
In 2026, I’ll be diving back into our beautiful moana for the physical challenge, the connection with nature: improving my Hauora.
Alongside my personal goal, I've decided to strive to raise funds for KidsCan,
an incredible organization that supports children facing hardship in Aotearoa.
I grew up knowing I was loved, while not knowing my school dinners were free as our
household didn’t have enough. The work KidsCan does to provide essentials
like food, clothing, and health services for vulnerable kids is close to my
heart.
By taking on this challenge, I hope to inspire others to support this cause while holding myself accountable … encouraging me to push through obstacles that may arise.
This challenge is more than swimming, it is a way to show up for myself, for the kids who need a helping hand, and for our wider communities. Any support you can offer will make a real difference. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
