Be a Super Swim Hero

Dive in and go the distance for sick kids this February. 

Chelsea was diagnosed with Leukaemia at just 8 years old. For over 3 months, she endured the isolation of hospitalisation at the peak of COVID-19 restrictions and painful treatments. 


Visiting the Starlight Express Room was the most exciting day of Chelsea’s hospital journey. Captain Starlight brought a smile to her face, playing games and singing silly songs.     

 
“Starlight brings joy into their lives at such a difficult time”, said mum Melinda.  

3 simple steps

Go solo or as part of a team. Choose your distance for the month (2km? 30km? – it’s up to you!) and fundraising goal when you register. You’ll get plenty of help along the way!
