We are fundraising for medical research – one lap at a time.
We are taking on the Perkins Plunge to raise funds for WA medical research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.
We're swimming for our lives and the lives of those we love because we know that there are no advances in medicine without medical research and there’s no medical research without people taking action.
We're committing to swimming through the night to help medical researchers beat the world’s toughest life-threatening diseases.
The funds we raise through the Plunge will go to Perkins who are committed to finding breakthroughs that will lead to improved health outcomes for those affected by the hardest-to-treat diseases.
Whether you join us in the pool or contribute to our fundraising page, your generous support matters now but more importantly to our future health.
Together, we’re helping WA researchers beat the world’s toughest diseases.
Thank you to our Sponsors
