Swimming for Hearts: A July Challenge That Matters!

Swimming for Hearts: A July Challenge That Matters!

This July, I’m proud to take part in the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Summer Swim Challenge—and join Henchey Piche Team. I would love your support.

I’ve chosen this challenge because heart disease and stroke aren’t just statistics to me—they’ve touched the lives of people I deeply care about. So many of my family members and friends have faced, or are currently facing, these serious health challenges. Some are recovering, some are navigating daily struggles, and others may face this path in the future.

I carry each of them with me.

That’s why I’ve committed to swimming 15 kilometres over the month of July—one stroke at a time—in their honour.

But this challenge is about more than just the swim.

It’s also my way of saying thank you.

Thank you to the doctors, nurses, researchers, physiotherapists, speech therapists, caregivers, and the many dedicated professionals who support our loved ones through treatment and recovery. Their compassion, expertise, and tireless work make an immeasurable difference—not just to patients, but to entire families like mine.

This swim is my way of giving back—to help fund life-saving research, improve care, and support everyone affected by heart disease and stroke.

💙 I swim for the ones I love.
💙 I swim for those still fighting.
💙 I swim for the people who never stop caring for others.

Now, I’m asking you to be part of this with me.

👉 Please consider making a donation in support of my challenge.

Your generosity will go directly toward advancing critical heart and stroke initiatives—and together, we can make a real difference.

Thank you for helping me turn every kilometre into hope.

 This July I'm swimming and fundraising for Heart & Stroke, and I can’t do it alone. Every donation, big or small, brings me one step closer to my fundraising target.

Will you join me in making a difference? 🙌

Together, we can make every beat count! 💪
