Story

Unfortunately, the vast majority of us have been affected by Cancer in one way or another throughout our lives. I decided to take part in this Swimathon in March but unfortunately it was cancelled due to COVID-19. Now that some pools are open, the Swimathon is taking place across the UK by individuals to raise money for two incredibly important charity partners to both fight and support those living with Cancer.

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. Any donations no matter how small would be greatly received.
