Reason for Joining Challenge Week: Just for the thrill of it! I've never been deep sea diving and am looking forward to trying something unknown. It's also important to me to help raise awareness about cancer and money to help cancer patients.

Advice for Other Nannas: Get out there and just do it! Experience life and the world before it's too late. Get out of your comfort zone, and challenge yourself with at least one big adventure.

Shirl's Challenge to the Nova 93.7 Nanna: Have you got what it takes to run alongside me in these challenges?

Name: Polly Hill

Registration ID: 22

From: Alexandra Heights

Age: 61

Height: 168cm

Weight: 51 kilograms

No. of Grandchildren: 6

Previous Challenges: Raising 2 x Boys and 2 x Girls. I am now helping to raise my 6 grandkids.
I also grew up on a dairy farm in New Zealand . Which involved getting up at 4am, 7days per week. I moved to Australia to live as an adult. When my son moved overseas to marry I found myself with a chance to go on a European adventure a couple of years back.
At present I work for the John Bryant House caring for Aids Care patients. I love the work I do and feel this is a great challenge.

Reason for Joining Challenge Week: Being a Gran at 61 it blows me away that I could be given this opportunity to do such adventurous things, as I'd thought those days were over for me. I feel it is extremely important to be able to contribute to such a worthy cause such as the Cancer Support Association as we are all touched by cancer in some way. This is my way of giving back

Advice for Other Nannas: Never give up and always try and have a go at life.
