Over the past few years,I have been learning to swim.I have really enjoyed taking part in swim school lessons and improving my strokes.

I have been looking for a challenge that will really help me to push my swimming further.That's why I've decided to take part in the 1.5 KM event at this year's Swimathon.

I have never swum anywhere near this far before so this will be a real challenge for me.By doing this I will be raising money for two major charities; Cancer research UK and Marie Curie.

Please help me raise money for thousands of cancer patients and their families.
