Saturday 14th May
Thank you to everyone for your Support, , Kindness and Generosity. 
I didn't end up Swimming as far as I wanted to due to issue with right shoulder. 
However it was never really about the Swim rather Rasing Awarness and Hope. 
Channel 7 did a Story on the News and raised almost $3500 for #DollysDream #DoItForDollyDay

So Grateful for all the support

Friday 13th May

I'm overwhelmed and truly Grateful for all the support that I've received for #DollysDreamFundraiser .
I'm Proudly Supporting #DoitForDollyDay @dollysdreamaustralia
I thank you on behalf of all those that your Kindness & Generosity will help and assist by raising awareness and supporting those in need and enabling Dolly's Dream to act as a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves by changing cultures through educating the community and advocating for bullying laws and regulations . #BeKind #SpeakEvenifYourVoiceShakes

Why I'm Supporting @dollysdreamaustralia & What I'll be Doing

Thursday 10th Feb
Let me firstly start by thanking you for taking the time to read this .
I will be doing a swim on Friday the 13th of May supporting #DollysDreamFundraiser #DoItForDolly .
The plan is to Swim for as long as I can over the day.
 I've chosen to do a swim alone as I feel it aligns with #DollysDream purpose and also with those who they help & assist as many endure their turmoil and struggles alone.
I do not feel it is my place to share Dolly's story so please look to  About us - Dolly's Dream (dollysdream.org.au) and also to see the amazing work #DollysDream do .
I'll be swimming for a Vibrant Gypsy Soul to hopefully raise awareness and help give voice to those who cannot speak for themselves #SpeakEvenIfYourVoiceShakes.
 I'm supporting Dolly' Dream as my own lived experience has given me the greatest sense of Empathy , Compassion , Understanding and Dolly's story and the work #DollysDreamAustralia do has touched my Heart and Soul.
I seek not a fortune in Donations / Sponsorship from anyone yet acts of kindness and a little from many may equate to a lot which may result in priceless change and giving further voice to those who need it most.
That's my hope.
 "There's no place like Hope".
If you are able to help it will be truly appreciated and I Thank You on behalf of all those you'll be helping , assisting and making more of #DollysDream  become a reality giving further voice & support to those who need it most.
The beneficiary of all funds raised is #DollysDream and your donation goes directly to them .
Thank you and Kindest regards Steve.
