Cape Town mom swims from Robben Island to Bloubergstrand for charity

We also heard from Maura Sanderoff about her swim from Robben Island to Bloubergstrand to raise money for Splash charity and Derrick Frazer - Founder of Splash. The charity forms part of the Big Bay Events Swim Trust and is geared to teaching water safety to disadvantaged youth, aiming to create a difference in their own lives and those around them. Maura is truly a remarkable individual as she survived to live and tell her story after having her leg above the knee amputated at the age of 16 due to Osteosarcoma.
