On the 1st March 2014 Exeter University Swimming Club will be holding the annual Swimming Varsity. This year we have chosen to support the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, which specialises in caring for terminally ill people and their families. This charity is particularly close to my heart thanks to the support they arranged for my Mum and the rest of our family during her illness and the comfort they provided during her final weeks.

To raise money for this charity, on the 26th February we are running 5km through the University of Exeter Campus and town in as much swimming clothing as possible! We would really appreciate any sponsorship for this incredibly worthwhile cause!
