Help work wonders for sick kids

Hi there … I’ve been busy lately keeping up with 2 year old son Hayden and now our new baby daughter Emmerson. But I’m definitely keen to fit Swim4Kids in this year - a 100km tag team from Seaworld on the Gold Coast to the Brekky Creek Hotel. I’ll be swimming a 1 km leg…in a shark cage…jumping off from Seaworld on Thursday 16th October.



I’m grateful for health and happiness of my own kids…and this is my chance help kids who aren’t as lucky.



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.
