This year I am doubling the distance and will be swimming 5k to raise money for this great cause. I will be dedicating my swim to my grandfather Gino who passed away in February 2017 (www.ginodachille.com). Like me, he too was a keen swimmer himself, having spent many hours at the local pool, so I will be continuing the family tradition of racking up lengths in the pool. All your support is hugely appreciated. 

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. 

Wish me luck!
