My Updates
Monday 26th Aug
Training is well underway to qualify for the 2025 Rottnest Challenge in February where I will attempt to swim 20Km from Perth to Rottnest Island. Why?..... Great question!
In 2019, our family was devastated to lose our Mum to Autoimmune disease following a long and painful battle over many many years. Towards the end she said to me "don't let this happen to anyone else".
I don't know enough about these sorts of diseases to make Mum's wish come true. The next best thing I can do is to do this crazy challenge and raise some money for the people who can make it happen.
HOPE Research Program at Garvan Institute of Medical Research are Australia's leading researchers in autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease. All the donations to this page will go directly to helping them find a cause and a cure for these conditions so no more families have to live through what we went through.
Any donations at all will help a huge amount to making Mum's wish come true that no one else has to live through what she did.
Thank you for your generosity!
Training updates are posted on my instagram page @shamblesmurphy if you'd like to keep track of how I'm getting on in the lead up to the event!
