I am equally excited and nervous to announce that I will be undertaking a monumental 42km (26 mile) swim to raise crucial funds for Ikaika Hawaii Waterman's Academy! This incredible charity is dedicated to providing a pathway for children to develop physically and mentally as champions through water activities. They offer holistic training programs that inspire kids to strive for personal excellence, all the way to world and Olympic competition.

This swim is not just a challenge; it's a heartfelt tribute to my incredible mother, who instilled in me a deep love and respect for the ocean. After her sudden passing, the ocean became my sanctuary, rescuing me from a dark period in my life. Now, I celebrate life through swimming, and I want to help share this transformative gift of water sports with the next generation.

That's why I need your support to make a splash! My goal: to raise $100 for every kilometre I swim across one of the world's most challenging channels. Your generous contribution will empower children to unlock their potential and achieve greatness through the power of water sport. Together, we can make a huge difference in their lives and honor my mother's beautiful legacy. Dive in with me and be part of this exciting journey!
