Help work wonders for sick kids

Hi there … It’s always a great feeling that I can help sick kids at the Royal Children’s Hospital in any way I can…whether it’s visiting the kids or getting in on the fundraising action. So I’ll be jumping in a shark cage as part of the 100km tag team swimming from Seaworld on the Gold Coast to the Brekky Creek Hotel in Brisbane. Look for me during the last leg…should still have 2… on Sunday 19th October.



You can jump in as well and make a splash. Sponsor me now (it’s tax deductible)...it’s for a great cause…to work wonders sick kids at the Royal Children’s Hospital.



Swim4Kids” was developed with the idea of helping the kids of the Royal Children’s Hospital. It is a 100 km “tag team” swim from Seaworld on the Gold Coast to the Breakfast Creek Hotel in Brisbane. The swim begins on Thursday 16th October and will reach the Breakfast Creek Hotel on the morning of Sunday 19th October. Swimmers will complete a 1 km leg and hand over to the next swimmer. Each swimmer actively raises funds by getting people to sponsor their leg and all proceeds of the Swim4Kids event goes to the Royal Children’s Hospital.
