On Sunday the 5th April I will be heading down to my local pool to raise money for two amazing charity partners. My mum has recovered from both breast cancer and womb cancer and I have several friends who have either been affected themselves or their family and friends have. Everybody knows someone that knows someone that knows someone...that is affected. I would like to show my support by doing this swim to raise money for two charities that offer support to my family and friends.
