After Robert Dubler, a Sydney lawyer, became a quadriplegic in May 2016 as a result of a surfing accident, he is working hard at recovery but the road is long, difficult and expensive.
Robert was a keen swimmer and one of his favourite events each year was to swim the Cole Classic ocean race from Manly to Shelly Beach. This year the event is being held on the 5th February 2017. James Renwick and Andrew Harding, colleagues of Robert’s, will swim in honour of Robert and in doing so hope to raise some funds towards his recovery.
A mycause campaign which was created by Andrew to collect donations for Robert has raised over $63,000 to help Robert recover.
