Swim-a-thon

Overnight (from 2am-9am) I swam with my colleagues from St V's ED in the MS Mega Swim. A 24 hour relay swim at the Fitzroy Pool held to raise money for people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Although the "Saints & Swimmers" didn't whip up a frenzy in the pool, we had a jovial and fun time together and as always continuously ate, talked, laughed, exchanged bizarre anecdotal, crude and revealing stories.

This is the 5th year that we have participated. There is always great camaraderie within the team which consists of doctors, nurses & paramedics.

Some of our colleagues that have participated in previous years or who are unable to participate, and some of our family and friends often come to the pool (particualrly overnight) to bring us food, warm clothes and to cheer us on and support us.

Their humanity and spirit inspires me.
