For our girl Dakota

Dakota is a Balmain Water Polo girl who for the last 12 months has been battling an aggressive form of Leukemia.

Unfortunately, our girl Dakota has got the news that her Leukaemia had returned and all treatment options have been exhausted.

Dive in for DK Swim-a-Thon edition is HAPPENING!

This is going to be a day where EVERYONE can come out and show their love and support for Dakota and her family while also raising much needed funds for the Leukemia Foundation to help stop this from having to happen to anyone else.

The Swim-a-Thon will be a fun filled day with some swimming, races, food and activities for all ages!

Delfina have jumped on board again and is busy creating a new range of Dive in for DK merchandise including swim wear, t shirts, beanies and more with all proceeds being donated.

Thank you for your support

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

Today, more than 50 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 50 families will be devastated by the same news.

I have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease. 

The money I raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives. 

Please show me your support by donating to my fundraising campaign.
