WHY I'M DOING IT
Each day in February I'm hitting the water for SurFebruary and raising funds for cancer research at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.
I signed up for SurFebruary in 2021 and managed to raise over $1300 for cancer research. At the time, I was doing it as a way to get back in the water while doing service for a great cause.  Â
This time around, I'm doing it for my dad, Paul Savill, who sadly lost his battle with cancer in 2022 after only 3 short weeks from diagnosis. I never got to say goodbye to his earthly being. Â
I want to honour my father's memory by participating in Surfebruary, and raising much needed funds to help cancer patients and their families.
The reality is that one in two of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetime. That’s a pretty big statistic. The good news is that we can make a tangible impact on how we treat cancer by contributing to innovative cancer research that benefits us all.
It only takes a minute to donate and anything you can give (no matter how big or small) will go a long way to helping people with cancer and their families.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support.
See you in the water!

Remembering your Dad with fondness... Thank you for doing this for such a wonderful cause. Much love. Mum. xxx
