I took part in swimathon for the first time last year. I did the 5k with a team of 3 mates to help raise money towards curing cancer.

Unfortunately since last year one of our team has been struck down with a chronic illness and is unable to take part this time.

We are going in with a new team member and we are doing this for Nigel .

Cancer affects us all in some way or another and we want to stop that happening in the future. We are all responsible and we can all make a difference...... please donate now !!

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.

Together we can really make a difference. We invite our swimmers to tell their story to help spread awareness and raise vital funds for these two incredible causes.
