The Dip Chick

By Leanne Arfuso

the Dip Chick's WORST NIGHTMARE -1C Arctic Circle

the Dip Chick's WORST NIGHTMAR-1C Arctic Circle 

100 dips - 100 days - 100+ dedications - 50+ destinations - 4 countries. 

Dippy wanted to experience, at least in a small way, part of the journey people with cancer face. She thought 'Doing so many things they don't want to do day-in-day-out must take super human endurance'. So the idea was hatched.

Things she usually avoids include anything below 30C, rivers, lakes, creeks, ponds, and ocean, the ice bucket challenge, cold showers and ice baths. Thanks to Sarina and Jaid they are all on the list!

Stage 1: 35 dips for Daffodil Day were in 35 different locations: the coldest being -1C; the warmest 19C. My close friends and family generously donated $1,721.

Stage 2: France, Norway, Lapland, Finland, Western Australia

Now Dip Chick needs you, people inside and outside my circle to join the flock, to donate! Please share as far and wide as you can. Join the team to help raise funds for research and support.

Want to dedicate a dip to someone - press DONATE. * Write the person's name in the message. (I will include their names on my photo card along with the dip number, destination, temp C in and out of the water.)
