A Lap for Cancer raised $35K with thanks to Icebergs and many others
On the 22nd September 2019, thanks to support of the Icebergs from Icebergs and iceberg swimmer Donna Moclair almost $35,000 was raised by the amazing Icebergs community.
$19,117 raised by lap swimming
$10,000 donated by Icebergs
$5,800 from raffle sales, and other donations.
organising an event on this scale is not something I had ever done before and was only made possible with a lot of expert help from Kerrie Brien (manager at icebergs), Lindsay Dawson (board member of head of community fundraising) and Rosie Stacey and her crew at Pendulum Communications.
