Welcome to part two of my chat with Carol Cooke, in last weeks episode Carol took us through her early years of being a 7 year old with a dream to 40 years later achieving it. If you haven’t listened, hit pause and go back and listen to the journey.
In this episode Carol takes us through the benefits sport has provided her, the lessons she’s learnt and the interesting backstory of how she came to be the founder of the 24 hour mega swim.
The 24 hour mega swim is an event I first discovered in 2012, and loved the concept so much that at the age of 16 I started a team and forced 14 of my friends to swim in a relay for 24 hours straight, raising money for MS. Carol takes us through the early days of starting the 24 hour mega swim and some stories of how the money raised has actually changed people’s lives.
If you’re interested in this event, or other events, like racquetball and badminton, mentioned in this episode, you can find the link in the show notes.
It was such an honour to be able to speak to Carol about some of her sporting achievements, but also learn more about an event that has been so pivotal in changing my perception on sport.
