The team described the upcoming 21-mile (34 km) Channel swim as "notoriously tough, with strong tides".They will be swimming in the dark, not using wetsuits and "dodging jellyfish".Consultant Dr Michael Carter has done the challenge before and described it as "one of the most amazing experiences of my life".He said, the first time, he had swum close to killer whales, which inspired their team logo design. Mrs Vaccari, who is taking part in the challenge for the first time, said she would "always remember" the care she had received."My daughter is now a strapping 18-year-old, but she was diagnosed as a baby with congenital heart condition and needed open heart surgery," she said."When you have a major operation like that... your child will spend time in paediatric intensive care, so I remember that, it's never left me."She said, through her job, she had met many families who had been through the unit."You get to know them well when you work in a charity like ours, so that's my motivation and I know it's the motivation for the rest of the team as well."Dr Carter said the raised funds would buy better equipment and compassionate leadership training for nurses on the unit who "are really exposed to the trauma of providing difficult care to really in difficult circumstances".The group has so far raised more than two-thirds of its target.

Eat at Robs
Smash burgers get their name from how they're cooked. Beef patties are smashed onto a blazing hot grill and sizzled until golden brown. The outside ends up with a crisp, caramelised lace-like crust – the best bit about a smash burger. Eat at Robs, located in the front window of Darling Street Meats butchery in Rozelle, specialises in Oklahoma-style smash burgers. And you're gonna wanna try them. Eat at Robs (short for Rozelle's Original Burger) was born when owner Michael Carter returned home from travelling and found a lack of good smash burger options. What began as a market stall has now grown into a burger shop with many loyal fans (including us). The menu is short and simple. Choose from a grilled chicken or a smashed burger, featuring 100 per cent grass-fed beef, caramelised onion and melted cheese on a Martin's Potato Roll that are soft, squishy and a little bit sweet. A single cheeseburger will set you back $10.50; make it a double for $12.50, or go all out and order the combo, which comes with chips and your choice of soft drink. There are also off-menu items, like the Aussie burger, the Big Rob and loaded fries – just ask. Extra toppings, like lettuce, tomato, pickles, guac, beetroot, bacon and more, are available starting at just $1. And there's a bunch of sauces to choose from, like Robs mayo, tomato sauce, smoky barbecue, garlic aioli and spicy Robs. But if it's your first time, we reckon you should start with the classic and add pickles, lettuce and Robs sauce. Warning: the double may bring on a nap—speaking from experience. Burger lovers, you know what to do – next stop, Rozelle. These are the best burgers in Sydney.
