E37 - Nick Edwards - Cook Strait charity swim for Ovarian Cancer! Please donate.
Today, we’re a little late in flying the flag in support of Nick Edwards, who made a gallant effort for 13 hours swimming across this massive stretch of water called the Cook Strait, battling fierce currents, icy temps, and unpredictable conditions.
Unfortunately the ocean was not working with Nick today and the cold and huge currents put an end to his swim. But, he was not out there swimming on his own - his swim was to raise awareness for ovarian cancer, a disease that affects thousands yet remains widely under-recognized.
Every year, over 300,000 women worldwide are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and early detection is critical. Nick’s mission is to spark conversations, push for awareness, and, most importantly, raise funds to support research and those affected.
