CAN LINDA SWIM 2.7KM IN THE OCEAN
ICA Trainer, Linda Anderson is set to take to the ocean (and sharks) again this summer!!
Linda is participating in the challenging and gruelling ‘Macquarie Big Swim’ at the end of January 2008. This challenging swim is 2.7km (54 lengths of an Olympic pool, but with the added difficulty of waves and possibly sharks also!). To add to Linda’s personal challenge she has discovered her shoulder injury, sustained last summer, has not recovered during her lazy winter so as she say’s, “I am currently swimming in circles!”
To help Linda achieve this big, scary and maybe a little crazy goal, Linda has signed up with CanToo, www.cantoo.org.au a wonderful organisation who fund researchers for the Cure Cancer Australia Foundation. 100% of money raised through CanToo is donated to Cure Cancer Australia - every $75,000 AUD raised, funds a full-time researcher for 12 months. Almost everyone we know ( including Linda) has been touched by cancer in some capacity so this is an organisation that Linda is very proud to support.
Linda has set herself a big, bold fundraising goal to match the big, bold swimming goal. Linda’s intention is to raise $2,700AUD….which is $1 for every metre she swims in this big race.
