Swimming for Breakthroughs: Why Medical Research Needs Your Support

This November, I'm diving back into the fight against disease – stroke by stroke, hour by hour.

This is my second year taking the Perkins Plunge – a 12-hour overnight winter swim that pushes my limits while supporting the extraordinary scientists at the Harry Perkins Institute. Last year, your incredible support made a real impact, and I'm back for round two!

Every day at the Perkins, medical science researchers are conducting world class science. They're cracking the genetic codes of rare diseases, engineering smarter cancer treatments, revolutionising diabetes care, and pioneering biomedical engineering technologies.

But us researchers need resources and further support. Australian medical research faces serious funding challenges that can slow down the life-saving work happening in our labs.

So I'm taking the plunge – literally. Twelve hours of swimming through a November night to fuel the research creating new discoveries and innovative cures. 

Your support doesn't just fund science – it funds hope.
