I'm Going the Distance for my mum, Karen.
Last year, I raised over $5k by swimming 20 laps per day (small goal but big for me) dedicated to my mum who (at the time) was in remission. I had planned to do it again this year as I found that it not only radically help my mental health but it also felt really good to be doing something (anything!) to help those with cancer.
A year on, mum is doing chemo again at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse. I went in with her for the first time a month ago and seeing all the different people affected by cancer (young and old) made this all feel so much bigger than just our experience. So while swimming laps every day is a small thing in the big picture that is Cancer, the money we raise will go directly to helping the many people from all walks of life who are affected by cancer have the care that they deserve.
