Drakes Island Swim · 27 June 2021

Story

You know me, I love a challenge. So I decided to sign up to the Drakes Island swim. 

It’s a 1.5km sea swim from Firestone Bay to Drakes Island and back. I just need to keep an eye out for the Slimy Devil Fish! 

Raising awareness is at the heart of everything we do, as well as this, with funds raised by YOU, we support our hospitals by purchasing the very latest equipment and treatments that perhaps aren’t available in the region.We have a​ unique geography, so our work is often unique, to help more men than ever before, we’re also building an online community, reaching more men in the community who need help and support during and after their cancer treatments. ‬We want men and their families to know that we’re here for as long as you need us!
