Swim for Hope · 26 June 2022 ·

Wessex Cancer Support provides free and local emotional support to anyone affected by cancer in Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. Clients may have cancer themselves, be adjusting to life after cancer, supporting someone with cancer or be bereaved. We rely on donations to provide this support.

Story

We all know what cancer can do and the horror show it can put people through. My sister Katy and I included. We lost our dear dad 3 years ago, our uncle two years ago and are now facing the process and consequences of another diagnosis for Katy’s husband and wonderful dad to my two beautiful nephews, Mike. We’ve had our hearts broken by cancer more than once. As many of you will have too. So we are going to take our broken hearts and swim them across the Solent because we can. And as Katy delicately put it ‘if we’re still standing after what we’ve been through, swimming the Solent will be a piece of piss.’ Let’s hope so! 😬 Sponsor us to help make someone else’s horror story a little less horrible through the support of Wessex Cancer Trust.
