We are raising funds for people with dementia!

Our ocean swimming mob are raising funds for people with dementia! We have raised over $27000 in the last 5 years tugging our inflatable toys from Wollongong Harbour to North Beach pavilion and want to keep our donations tugging along.

But we need your help! Please make a donation to support my efforts and help me reach my goal to beat dementia.

All funds raised will support the work of Dementia Australia to provide vital support services for people living with dementia, their families and carers. These services include counselling, support groups, education and training.

Thank you for your support.
