Story

I'm celebrating! 10 years at Currimundi Special School, the happiest place I've had the privelidge to work at. It will also be the 10th time I've done the swim, but the first time doing it alone.

My reasons are pretty simple, I need to know if I can do it and I want to raise lots of money!

Great thing about swimming in the team was knowing you shared the load with everyone else. But the thing is, I work everyday with children that carry a huge load all by themselves everyday. They have the wonderful support of family, friends and the school environment but they still face  their struggles individually. So I'm going individually this time.

I have watched the school grow from about 90 children to triple that amount in 10 years. So we need lots of stuff!  If I'm going to pull this off I am going to need lots of support. I'm digging deep and I want all my supporters to do the same. I want a dollar a metre to swim with the sharks this year! 10.000+ m =10.000+$.

Thanking you all in advance and I will keep you posted!

Every year people gather on the Sunshine Coast to help the Nambour & Currimundi Special Schools. They swim from Mudjimba Beach, out around Old Woman Island and all the way to Mooloolaba. That’s 11km of swimming on the wrong side of the shark nets!
