Oceans 7 Challenge

In 2019 I fell in love with Ocean swimming when we completed the English Channel.
 
I am now continuing the quest to conquer the Seven Seas! More precisely, I am accelerating my goal of completing the Oceans 7 Challenge.
 
It's a marathon swimming challenge consisting of seven open water channel swims. It includes the English Channel, the Molokai Channel, the Catalina Channel, the North Channel, the Tsugaru Strait,  the Strait of Gibraltar and the Cook Strait.
 
The journey so far…we have conquered 5 of the Oceans 7 swims. It has been amazing. 
 
We have met so many incredible people. As well as visiting so many incredible parts of the world, we have raised over  $900,000 (AUD) to help find a cure for cancer. To add, we have also worked hard building awareness around living and eating healthily. We have also been focused on simply encouraging people to proactively undertake health checks. There is no better cure than simple prevention.
 
Sarah, my wife is now 5 years into her battle with Stage 4 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. This means cancer presented in her lungs, parts of her skeleton, thyroid and brain. Since that day in September 2020, life in the Eade household has been very different. So…I swim to make a difference.
 
There is so so much more work to do, to not only raise money to continue to accelerate the fight against the disease, but equally importantly, to raise AWARENESS!

Swim for Health! Physical and Mental!

 

​​​Righto. July 20! It's time to revisit this fucking thing!

​

Life keeps throwing the Eade family tests. Sarah continues to battle on. So, buoyed by her tenacity and fortitude, I'm following her lead, in and out of the pool! 

​

So, over may not mean over. :-)The experience of failing Hawaii again was really tough. Failure always is.   

​​

Hawaii for me was an incredibly spiritual experience. A beautiful place with incredible people.

​

What were our learnings from attempt number 2? I actually think this whole swim needs a rethink, not just for me but in general. It has traditionally been a night swim. I will never attempt it again at night. More on that another time. 

​

I'm ready to get back in the water with some focus and direction. I'm going to look at 2026 and see what I can line up. Tsugaru? Manhattan? I'm also looking at a cheeky Lake Taupo at the end of 2025. â€‹

​​

Thank you for supporting the difference we are trying to make in the world. I'm excited to keep Channeling A Cause, for the well being of my body and mind!

​

How can you not be romantic about ocean swimming? :-)
