Dawn Fraser had supported many charitys before, but i think that she should start working with everydayhero. Everydayhero is a platform that helps people fundraise money for a charity of there choice. The one i recommed is where it turns your swimming laps into an activity that can raise money. By doing this she will raise money but also inspire other to do good for others.
