We support research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,250 scientists, doctors and nurses.

My story

Hello!

Thanks loads for visiting our fundraising page.

As you probably know by now, we are swimming the length of Lake Windermere, the largest Lake in England, all 10.5 miles of it. That's a long way in swimming terms - about half way across the Channel or 672 lengths of your local pool! It will take us about six hours.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now! Any amount will help us get nearer our ambitious target...

Many thanks for your support.

Jenny and Matt
