My mum and I decided to take on this challenge in memory of my Grandma who sadly passed away on the 29th August 2019 after a long battle with cancer.

Marie Curie nurses were invaluable to both my Grandma and the family showing support the whole time. 

Starting the 29th August until we complete 15km. 

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.
