I’m on a mission to beat the world toughest diseases – one lap at a time.

This year, I’m diving in for a cause that’s close to my heart — the Perkins Plunge, an overnight swim raising money for cancer research. For hours through the night, swimmers like me will take turns in the pool to honour those we’ve lost, celebrate survivors, and support the ongoing fight against cancer.

It’s not just about swimming; it’s about showing strength, resilience, and hope — the same qualities people battling cancer show every single day. Every lap we swim represents another step toward a future free of cancer.

I’m on a mission to help raise money and awareness for cancer research– one lap at a time.

No one wants to hear those terrible words… it’s cancer… or it’s heart disease… or diabetes or worst still – we don’t know what it is.

And no one should have to see their loved ones’ suffering..

Whether it is a loved one, family member, friend or much closer to home, when you’re faced with a serious disease, you want the most advanced treatments possible.

That’s why I am taking on the Perkins Plunge to raise vital funds for WA medical research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

I’m swimming through the night to help WA’s best medical researchers. The funds I raise will support the brilliant minds at the Perkins who are committed to finding breakthroughs that will lead to breakthroughs and maybe even cures for the hardest-to-treat diseases.

Whether you join me in the pool (I’d love the company) or contribute to my fundraising page, your generous support matters now but, more importantly, safeguards our future health.

Together with my team the kickboard karens, we’re helping WA’s best researchers beat the world’s toughest diseases.
