Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am swimming the length of the channel over the course of October to raise funds for The Christie Charity. 

The Christie is a much loved trust in Manchester for many reasons, and it is especially important to me because of how it has been there for me and my family throughout my lifetime. 

Whilst the trust has helped both me and my mum beat cancer in the past, unfortunately in September of 2020 my mums cancer returned after 7 years in remission. In addition to this, my cousin Darcy is currently being treated at The Christie due to her cancer returning after 20 years in remission.

The past year has been tough, but one thing that has shone through is my mums strength and determination despite her diagnosis, something that has motivated me to undertake this task.

The distance is 21 miles, which equates to around 50 lengths a day over four weeks. Due to the effect of childhood chemotherapy and radiotherapy on my lungs I cannot run to save my life, so hopefully this is challenging yet achievable! 

Any donations would be very much appreciated, thank you 🥰
