Story

Making Waves for a Cure: Swim Queens Swimathon 2024 Fundraising

We're diving into action because every stroke brings us closer to a cure.

Team members: Amira, Carla, Charlotte, Ebony, Jade, Josephine, Kim, Nadine, Niki, Rhonda, Robyn, Sarayah, Shola, Toyin & Vanessa 💫

🏊‍♀️ Each with our own story, we’ve found strength, camaraderie and purpose through a shared passion for swimming and a desire to make a difference. As a team, we've set our sights on a unique challenge—collectively swimming the distance of 21 kilometres!

🏊‍♀️ With each stroke, we’re making waves that extend far beyond the pool, breaking barriers in the fight against cancer.

🏊‍♀️ Glide with us through each lap, as we light the way for everyone navigating the shadows of illness, embodying the strength that arises when women come together for a shared purpose.

🏊‍♀️ Join our journey as we swim not just for ourselves, but for the countless lives affected by cancer’s grip. Your donation is a grateful drop in our pool of hope, resilience and progress.

🏊‍♀️ Together, let's make a splash for a brighter, healthier future—one stroke at a time.

🙏 With heartfelt thanks,

Your Swim Queens 🩵
