Trishy & Beck are tackling their 5th & 4th Mudjimba Island
Charity Swims on 9th August. It's an 11km swim on the wrong side of
the shark nets from Mudjimba Beach, around Old Woman Island to the
Mooloolaba Spit. Why? To raise much needed funds for the Nambour &
Currimundi Special Schools.
Since 2010, the 2-da-loo team have relayed the 11KM swim;
starting with 4 swimmers, the team have reduced by one swimmer every
year, and this year Trishy & Beck will be swimming the
whole 11KM solo!
People often ask me, why do you do the Mudjimba Island Charity
Swim, why put yourself through the cold etc. Answer: Because I can
and they can't. Life is not all about me, it's about family, friends
and your community. By doing the swim, I raise money for the
beautiful kids of the Nambour and Currimundi Special Schools, who by
no fault of their own are not equipped to deal with life in
mainstream school and our government doesn't seem to think it's
necessary to fund them. So that is my answer. I do it for them
They need to raise $2000 by 7th August to qualify as entrants
in the swim.
The Island Charity Swim is a registered charity
complying with all applicable Australian Law. Funds raised are split
evenly between the Currimundi & Nambour Special Schools. A
committe made up of representatives of the schools & the Swim
community allocate where funds are spent. Along with generous support
from many businesses and individuals in the Community the Swim has
assisted in providing;
- electronic interactive whiteboards
- funds toward the building of the Currimundi Hydro-Therapy Pool centre
- tactile outdoor playgrounds
- sensory stimulus room
