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

It is truly a privilege to be able to do what I do. Everyday I come to work and am surrounded by some the most talented researchers making major advances in so many important areas, from cancer to cardiovascular disease to genomic technologies and neuromuscular disorders.  

Receiving funding for research in Australia is a major challenge in the field and the lack of funding available can stifle the hard work and progress being made. I have decided to take part in this 12 hour overnight winter swim to raise money for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to help fund and safeguard all the incredible research I see around me and get to be a part of.

Any contributions are hugely appreciated and will help to further the pioneering research being done to help Australian families live better, longer and healthier lives.
