🌊 Day 1 of My 30-Day Cold Dip Challenge! 🌊

Today, I’m starting a daily cold dip to boost my health, raise funds for @YoungTongues_ , and most importantly, spread awareness about tongue cancer in young people marking the start of #MouthCancerActionMonth

[Barbara Fountain @BarbVFountain]

As a survivor diagnosed at 32, I know how much early detection and support matter. Over these 30 days, I’ll share insights on what impact tongue cancer is having on young lives, the Young Tongues’ mission, and my journey—without the daily swimsuit shots! 😆

[Barbara Fountain @BarbVFountain]

Whether you can donate, share this page, or cheer me on, every bit helps make a difference. Let’s make a splash for a cause that matters! Thank you for your support.

A day dedicated to unwinding and indulging in the wonders of the picturesque Dead Sea coastline.

[Barbara Fountain @BarbVFountain]

Known for its extreme salinity, being at least 8 times saltier than the ocean, it's the perfect opportunity for a leisurely float in its buoyant waters and a refreshing mud mask from its natural deposits— an experience too enticing to pass up!

[Barbara Fountain @BarbVFountain]

We then walk out through the famous narrow As-Siq to the conventional entrance, where our waiting transport take us off to the Dead Sea coast for two nights of relaxation!

Day 6: Little Petra - Petra - Dead Sea
Today is what we have all been waiting for: the trek into Petra itself!

[Barbara Fountain @BarbVFountain]

We continue on our guided trek to the centre of Petra, descending roughly 800 rock-hewn steps, and admiring the incredible ruins and tombs, before arriving at the Treasury, the most famous and impressive sigh at Petra. This marks the finish line of our 100 km challenge to Petra.
