Amongst all the swimming, I was lucky enough to meet some amazing people, including Scott Sullivan, MND sufferer and the driving force behind the MND and Me Foundation. He is such an inspiration and an incredible person. Between all the participants and donations, $150,000 was raised for the Foundation. Such an amazing feat for a great cause.
I also had the chance to swim with sporting Legends, Susie O'Neill, Jess Schipper, Brad Beven and Sam Burgess, who were supporting the event. Was great to mingle with them and hear about their illustrious sporting careers. One thing is for sure, I have never felt so tiny as when I was standing next to footy legend Sam Burgess...
All in all, the Million Metres for MND was a huge success and I am so glad I could be a part of it. A huge thank you to Kevin Cairns for his help and support and the rest of the Cairns clan for allowing me to be a part of their team.
