Sally Catt is an ocean swimmer who this year is tackling the English Channel (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Channel) . She is raising money for Save The Box (savethebox.org.au) , a campaign to raise awareness and fundraising for gynaecological cancer research, as part of the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (anzgog.org.au) (ANZGOG).
I chatted to Sally about her journey to this point and what it takes to swim that far (>30 km) including long distance training, cold water acclimatization, going to the toilet while you're swimming, diet, travel companies, qualifying swims and English Channel swim operators (channelswimmingassociation.com) . Listen in for tips if this is something you want to do! It is not out of reach.
You can sponsor Sally's journey for charity here (give.everydayhero.com/au/sally-57) .
