I'm fundraising for...

Hi there,

I am trying to fundraise through the Plunge In For Lungs (Distance challenge) to help support Lung Foundation Australia and Lung Health Awareness Month in May. I will be committing to my challenge to swim as many metres as I can in the month of May!

Please help me by making a donation through my page. It only takes a minute and any money you can give (no matter how large or small) will go a long way to helping me reach my target.

Thank you, I really appreciate your support.

Day 31

Saturday 31st May

Day 31 and that’s a wrap! What a day to end my challenge, overcast, raining and cold and because of those conditions the pool heater didn’t heat the pool - IT WAS FREEZING 🥶 I’m not kidding it was bloody cold so it was another swim like Dawn Fraser day! Thank you to all of you beautiful people for sponsoring me to raise much needed funds for the Lung Foundation and all those wonderful inspiring messages, they kept me going. Don’t despair I’ll pop up on FB from time to time as I intend to keep swimming and of course I’ll have a new pair of togs and a cute lid 🤣💖

Day 30

Friday 30th May

Day 30. Short and sweet today 😔 Apart from the temperature being 19 degrees and overcast I forgot to put the pool heater on AGAIN!@$#%@!!! So I swam like I had a great white chasing me! It was so damn cold, no joke, I was freezing - so now I can say I’ve done the ‘ice’ plunge as well🤣 so not funny 🥶 See you tomorrow for the grand finale 💖

Day 29

Thursday 29th May

Day 29. Big drop in temperature today but still lovely in the water. Managed 20 laps today, I’m feeling good🤗

Day 28

Wednesday 28th May

Day 28. So close now. A little cooler today, 24 but still sunny. The beautiful weather just needs to hold out for 3 more days 🤞

Day 27

Tuesday 27th May

Day 27. I’m in countdown mode now - 4 to go! 18 laps today, 27 degrees and sunny. Hope you’re getting rain in SA 🤞

Day 26.

Monday 26th May

Day 26. I can’t believe how gorgeous the weather is still, a warm 26 again today! Managed the 14 laps again, I’ve bailed this challenge I reckon with only 5 days to go!

Day 25

Sunday 25th May

Day 25. As you can see my photographer has returned from his opal hunting adventure, he came home “opaless” 🤣 I conquered the pool again today - 14 laps and getting stronger 💪🏊🏻‍♀️

Day 24

Saturday 24th May

Day 24. 12 laps today! I feel so strong pulling through the water it’s empowering. 🤞the sun stays out every day in winter and I’ll be swimming to my hearts content 💖

Day 23

Friday 23rd May

Day 23. It’s Groundhog Day, another new number and another glorious day. Went out to lunch so swam my laps on a full belly of fish tacos 🥰 not ideal 😖!

Day 22

Thursday 22nd May

Day 22. What do you think of this little vintage ‘ensemble’ 🤣 pure fun I say!! Gorgeous sunny 26 here today, water was divine. Not sure if it was the beautiful weather of my nifty new bathers and lid but I swam 11 laps today 🌟 Not all at once though, 6 continuous laps a 2 minute rest and then 5 more. So overall today 132m, not bad for a senior hey 🏅

Day 21

Wednesday 21st May

Day 21. Yep bright sunshine today! Had a black spider in the pool with me today, it’s okay it was on the bottom at the deep end and unless it was just holding its breath I’m confident it was dead🤞

Day 20

Tuesday 20th May

Day 20. Not singing in the rain today just swimming in it, the weather can’t seem to make up its mind 🤦🏼‍♀️

Day 19

Monday 19th May

Day 19. A little chilly out of the water today but I’m still smiling! I really am enjoying this and will keep on swimming throughout winter - what’s the use of having a heated pool if you don’t use it (I can hear Roger saying 😖🤣) 💖

Day 18.

Monday 19th May

Day 18. Not the best photo but it shows what a glorious sunny day it is, so lovely and warm Reggie needed a swim too 💖

Day 17

Saturday 17th May

Day 17. The sun came out today, finally 🤗 14 days to go and I’ll have finished the challenge. So far I’ve raised $1500 for the Lung Foundation and all I had to do was swim in my heated pool everyday for the month of May - too easy 🤣

Day 16

Friday 16th May

Day 16. What do you think of this little number, it’s pink, love it!! I took an ‘after’ photo today. We had sunshine off and on so I took the pool cover off early…big mistake, big BIG mistake, will I never learn 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Day 15

Thursday 15th May

Day 15. I’m loving this lid it’s so pretty! I forgot to put the pool pump on this morning which of course, then starts the heater 🤦🏼‍♀️ a very fast 6 laps today 🤣

Day 14

Wednesday 14th May

Day 14 and another new “lid” totally colour coordinated today. Watch this space there’s more fun to come🤣🤣💖

Day 13

Tuesday 13th May

Day 12

Monday 12th May

Day 12 Raining so I’m up on the deck taking the photo, all good me getting rained on but not so good for my phone. Another pleasant dip today (6 laps), I’m hoping to improve on that in the near future 🤞No sign of the new swim caps today but did get another Temu parcel delivered🤣 Same time tomorrow then 🤗

Day 11

Sunday 11th May

Day 11 Job done! Recycling the bathers now😔 so keep it interesting I have several new swim caps coming just hope they arrive within the next 20 days 🤞

Day 10

Saturday 10th May

Day 10 Reggie had a very exciting day - he got a new toy, probably the most exciting part of my day too! Another cool blustery day here but the water was lovely 🏊🏻‍♀️

Day 9

Friday 9th May

Day 9 I’m still swimming despite the wind, rain and cooler temps. It’s not so bad once you’re in I just swim faster!!

Day 8

Thursday 8th May

Day 8 and another 6 laps done and dusted - my reward, one long hot shower! See you tomorrow for another 6 🤗

Day 7

Wednesday 7th May

Day 7….woohoo 1 week down 3.3 to go! Lovely sunny day which helped in adding another lap, now up to 6 = 72m. Lap 6 was a struggle but I made it and even managed to climb the steps out of the pool unaided🤣🤣 Bring on day 8, I’m on fire!

Day 6

Tuesday 6th May

Day 6. Sorry luvs no photo of me today, my photographer wasn’t available however I had my trusty Lifeguard on duty and the responsibility of a solo watch was just too much for him so a lie down was needed - love my Reggie 💖

Day 5

Monday 5th May

Day 5 and managed an extra lap today so 60 m in total, yay me 🤗

Day 4

Sunday 4th May

Went for my morning walk - it rained, got saturated so did my laps early, still raining! It’s a cool 18 degrees and overcast, perfect day for Netflix🤣

Day 3

Saturday 3rd May

Day 3 me and my lifeguard Reggie 💖

Day 2

Friday 2nd May

A bit cooler in the water today so thought I’d “colour it up”! 🤣

Day one

Thursday 1st May

And we’re off to good start!

I’ve been there!

Tuesday 22nd Apr

Hi in 2023 I had a ‘brush’ with Lung Cancer, fortunately for me it was found early and after having part of my right lung removed I am fine, no chemo and no radio, so very lucky.

I know what it’s like to feel petrified on hearing “you have lung cancer” so any support given is very much needed and that’s where the Lung Foundation comes into it.

Thank you in anticipation of your support.

PS I’m hoping for a ‘out of the ordinary’ warm May !! 🤞

Thank you to my Sponsors
