I’m on a mission to beat the world toughest diseases – one lap at a time.

No one wants to hear those terrible words… it’s cancer… or it’s heart disease… or diabetes or worst still – we don’t know what it is. And no one should have to see their loved ones’ suffering. Whether it is a family member, friend or much closer to home, when you’re faced with a serious disease, you want the most advanced treatments possible. That’s why I am taking on the Perkins Plunge to raise vital funds for WA medical research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.

I’m swimming through the night in the middle of winter with a team of my fellow PhD students and post Doc's at Harry Perkins  who are committed to finding breakthroughs that might even lead to cures for the hardest-to-treat diseases. Please contribute to my fundraising page, your generous support matters now but, more importantly, safeguards our future health.
