ABOUT SWIM 10:
Swim 10 is a team of 11 dedicated individuals who have come together to make a difference, train extensively and raise money to support those experiencing homelessness in our community. With assistance from a passionate coach, the team will work hard for the next 7 months swimming and fundraising, and then travel to Greece where they swim a total of 25kms in the ocean. The Swim 10 team consists of members from the SLSNS and external members who's hearts are committed in serving the community and to those experiencing homelessness.

ABOUT YOU:
Community, family and friends play a major role in supporting me during this journey and I am looking for your support both financially and morally. You can help me by donating the money (NOW, on this page, in person or by cheque), spreading the word through family and friends, attending my events and sending my Swim 10 link to anyone that you know. You could also host your own event such as a bake sale, used book sale etc.
ABOUT ME:
I moved from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia In December 2008, and I have been working for SLSNS since February 2009. I work specifically at Barry House, which is a shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness. I have joined the Swim 10 team to make a difference in the community and to do what I enjoy most, which is helping others in need. I have also joined to challenge myself physically by training for the next 7 months and then swimming the 25kms.
