Well I did it, I swam 2km in The Big Long swim and so far I have raised $1,256 for the Stroke Foundation. It was not a nice day with rain and wind hampering the start, but as with most stroke survivors, you get on with it which I did. One of the hardest things I've ever done.
A fabulous effort Rob and thank you for sharing it with us!

That's so inspiring Rob! Congrats! As Diana mentioned above, I'd love to know more about your journey in rehab and recovery. I'll definitely be sharing what you've done with my dad who had a stroke in Sep last year and currently wheelchair bound.
That is inspirational Rob! I too would like to hear more about your recovery and rehab. My 22 year old daughter is recovering from a serious stroke. 12 months on she is still in a wheel chair and trying to walk. She used to do Ocean swimming and would love to be able to swim again one day. It's fantastic to see your hard work pay off and your goal achieved - congratulations!
