An 11-year-old Emerald student has committed to swimming 20km to raise funds for sick children after she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease.
Peyton Watson would originally spend time in the pool to escape a world of bullying – it was her calm and happy place.
Although since then she’s discovered a hidden talent, and with a lot of hard work, dedication and support from the Emerald Seals, her self confidence has grown.
After recently being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease herself, Peyton decided to turn her passion into a way to do good, and is swimming 20km as part of the Starlight Foundation’s 2021 Super Swim Challenge.
