About Scott
Scott Gladman is a lifelong regional Australian. A family man, farm manager, and community leader shaped by hard work and resilience.
He's spent decades competing at the highest level, playing over 500 A-grade football games and staying active well into his 60s.
Not a regular swimmer, Scott is setting his sights on something no one has ever done before — swimming the entire length of the Darling River — to create awareness and raise funds for two causes close to his heart: Parkinson's Australia and MND Victoria. Help him make history.
Fight the Current is that decision in motion.
The Inspiration
Family man, community man, sporting great. There is not much Russell has not done in the community either as a participant, committeeman, coach or president.
