Charity 16 Challenge 2025

Andrew Carey is raising funds for Happy Bundles

In February 2025, I will be taking on the extraordinary challenge of a 16-mile swim across Midmar Dam, pushing my limits to make a difference for children battling cancer. Every stroke of this journey is dedicated to bringing light and joy into their lives through the incredible work of Happy Bundles Charity.

Happy Bundles delivers personalized care packages to children fighting cancer, spreading smiles when they’re needed most. These bundles provide not just gifts but also hope, love, and a sense of connection during challenging times.

By supporting my swim, you’re helping fund these bundles and extending a hand to families navigating a tough road. No matter how much you contribute, every donation brings us closer to the goal and fuels my determination to conquer those 16 miles.

Together, we can turn every ripple into a wave of kindness and support. Let’s show these kids they’re not alone—because when we come together, we can achieve anything.

Given my current fitness level, some might say I’m better suited to floating than swimming but with enough training (and maybe a snack break or two), I’m determined to complete the event.

Thanks for your support!
