Aquelle Midmar 8 – Mile Charity Challenge

CANSA Active is making waves at the Aquelle Midmar Mile, with a team of 40 determined swimmers diving into the Aquelle Midmar 8-Mile Charity Challenge on 5 and 6 February in support of those affected by cancer.

This incredible endurance event showcases the power of teamwork, resilience and purpose, as our swimmers take on the ultimate challenge — stroke by stroke — to raise funds and awareness for CANSA’s care and support programmes.

The momentum continues over the Aquelle Midmar Mile Weekend (7–8 February), where the CANSA team will be on-site supporting 1-mile swimmers who have chosen to swim for CANSA Active. Be sure to visit the CANSA Active merchandise stand in the race village and show your support.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our phenomenal Leader Volunteers Lance Fraser, Ashleigh Clarke and Warwick Fraser — the Fraser family — whose passion and commitment continue to drive this initiative year after year. Your dedication inspires every swimmer who takes to the water for CANSA Active.
