Bex

Our lovely friend, colleague, fellow club member and all around fabulous human Rebecca (Bex) Hind is courageously fighting cancer. Bex has remained upbeat and positive through the thick and thin of the surgeries and chemotherapy treatment of the last 12 months. To help keep herself fit and strong she has kept cycling and swimming as much as possible.

Swim

Swimming is one of Bex’s true passions, and she‘s pretty good at it too! To help Bex on her road to recovery we think she deserves lots of love and we’d like to show our support by raising some money. Thus “SWIMATHON FOR BEX“ was born!

Swimathon for Bex

This will be held on Saturday 7th March, 2020 at Penrith Leisure Centre from 17:45-19.45. The aim is to swim a total distance of 85kms which is roughly equivalent to the total length of all 16 of Cumbria’s lakes. Prizes for the team that swims the longest distance.

To enter your relay team (1-4 swimmers) in the “Swimathon for Bex“ make a minimum donation of £50 (which can be from your sponsors) on this Just Giving Page with your team name before 29th February, 2020.

You don’t have to be a fast swimmer to be a relay team. It is not a race, its a fun night to raise funds for a great charity.

Send an email to sallyannblackmore@gmail.com to confirm your donation and team name. You will receive further instructions and details via email closer to the event.

If you can‘t make the “Swimathon for Bex” at Penrith, do your own swim on Saturday 7th for a maximum of 2 hours, send us proof of your distance in metres, make a donation and we will add your distance to our total.

If you don‘t want to swim, come along and help support the event, sponsor a team or simply make a donation here.

Donations

All donations will go to The Christie Charity who fund the care of patients above and beyond what the NHS provides. The Charity also fund vital research aimed at understanding cancer and developing pioneering treatment which offers patients the very best chances of beating this horrible disease.
