Story

Hi friends! 

Tim, Sophia and I recently started swimming three times a week (4 for Sophia!) and we thought we'd take our new interest and try and raise some money for Cancer Research & Marie Curie at the same time!

This is a cause super close to my heart. Having witnessed first hand the advances in cancer treatment due to funding received by charities like Cancer Research, I feel it's only right we get involved.

We're starting small, 1.5k is 60 lengths which we're very confident that we can do, next year we want to go for the 5k!

Any donation big or small will be gratefully received :) <3


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the 27th - 29th March, over 21,000 swimmers will be heading down to over 600 pools across the UK to raise money for our two amazing charity partners.

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. We invite our swimmers to tell their story to help spread awareness and raise vital funds for these two incredible causes.
