I’m on a mission to beat the world toughest diseases – one lap at a time.
I’m swimming in the Perkins Plunge because I really believe in the incredible work the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research does. It’s one of Western Australia’s leading medical research centres, and the scientists there are working to find better treatments — and hopefully cures — for diseases that affect so many people, like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and rare genetic conditions. Knowing that the effort I put into swimming helps support that kind of research makes it all worth it.
So far, I’ve raised around $900, which funds about four hours of research in the Perkins lab. When I think about that, it’s honestly so motivating — just a few hours of research could lead to discoveries that change people’s lives. It’s crazy to think that something as simple as swimming can help make that happen.
I’ve always loved swimming, so getting the chance to use it for a bigger purpose feels really meaningful. It’s not just about laps in the pool; it’s about using what I can do to help others. Every stroke feels like it’s part of something important — something that’s actually helping real people and families in our community.
The Perkins Plunge brings everyone together for such a good cause. There’s this great sense of unity and positivity around the event, and everyone’s there because they genuinely care. It’s inspiring to see how much of an impact a community can make when we all do our part.
At the end of the day, I’m swimming because I want to make a difference — even a small one. The Perkins Institute is doing life-changing research right here in WA, and I’m proud to support that. If a few hours in the pool can help fund a few hours in the lab, then it’s 100% worth it.
