Story

We would like to thank everyone who has so far supported the Marie Curie charity and Cancer Research UK, your donations are really appreciated. Mike and I will be swimming 5K each and working on a target of £250.00 sponsorship - we now have longer to achieve this as the Swimathon has been sensibly postponed until later in the year. Meanwhile we are treading water and maybe Jimi our Water Dog mascot, will join us training in the Sea if the swimming pools close temporarily as well!

Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity is dedicated to saving lives through funding research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Cancer Research UK are the only charity fighting over 200 cancer types but don't receive any government funding for their work, so their progress is all thanks to the support of people like you.

Marie Curie provides expert care, guidance and support for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. Around 2,100 Marie Curie Nurses work day and night, in people’s homes all over the UK, providing hands-on care to people when they need it most.

We welcome any support, particularly with a few motivational comments! 

Thank you x
