The swimmers will take on the mile of water across Midmar dam spread throughout the various races over the two days, united by their goal to raise money and awareness for the plight of underprivileged kids fighting cancer.
“Our leading individual fundraiser is Megan Topp, who has raised over R5 000 on her own,” said Iris Varty, better known as Daisy.
She extended an appeal to KwaZulu-Natal schools to join in with The Cows efforts on the weekend of the aQuellé Midmar Mile.
