I'm swimming for Sick Kids!
🏊♀️❤️ WE’RE SWIMMING 10KM FOR SICK KIDS THIS NOVEMBER! ❤️🏊♀️
This November, we’ve signed up for Swim for Sick Kids, and we’re challenging ourselves to swim 10 kilometres throughout the month to raise money for seriously ill and injured children and their families. 💪💦
This fundraiser is especially close to my heart and means a lot to our family.
My son has been a patient at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead for many years, so we know firsthand what it’s like when life suddenly revolves around hospital appointments, treatments, procedures and surgeries. We also know many family members and friends whose children have needed the care of Westmead over the years.
During times like these, having somewhere like Ronald McDonald House is an absolute lifesaver for families. ❤️
When your child is sick, the last thing you need is the added stress of accommodation, being away from your family or trying to work out how you’re going to manage everything.
Ronald McDonald House provides a genuine home away from home. The facilities give families comfort and some normality while their child receives treatment, and the staff are always willing to help and genuinely go above and beyond.
Whether a child is facing a small procedure, major surgery, ongoing treatment or a long hospital stay, having their family close can mean everything. ❤️
That’s why we’ve decided to get in the pool and do our bit!
🏊♀️ OUR NOVEMBER CHALLENGE: 10KM! 🏊♀️
We’ll be swimming Monday to Friday throughout November, completing 10 × 50m lengths each weekday — 500 metres at a time.
That means we’ll swim 200 lengths of the pool to reach our 10KM goal! 💪💦
Every length we swim will represent another little step towards helping families stay together while their child is going through one of the hardest times of their lives.
And we would absolutely LOVE our friends, family and community to get behind us! ❤️
