Thankyou,Thankyou,Thankyou!

TOTM is incredibly excited to have received payment of the $10,000 grant from The Foundation For Young Australians! This grant from the Foundation's opportunity bank has allowed for the payment of airfares, pilot boat deposit, accommodation deposit, uniform purchases and the medicals required by the CS &PF (at a non Medicare supported $77 each, these were an unexpected cost!).







A "Sea 2 See" Supporters Swim has been arranged in conjunction with St Kilda Surf Lifesaving Club to be held on April 20th, at St Kilda Beach. More details as they are finalised!

To say nothing of Channel Swimmers & Pilot Federation memberships & medicals and then Pilot contracts to get organised-all of which is nearly completed!

The Aussie girls received some excedllent news on Friday- a submision to The Foundation For Young Australians has been successful! The Opportunity Bank is providing $10,000 to cover the travel costs of getting to the Channel. This grant is an integeral part of the whole process and will allow T.O.T.M. to continue with it's aims!
