Swimathon 2023 · 28 April 2023 to 13 May 2023 ·

Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are calling on the nation to get down to the pool for Swimathon 2023 - thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge.

Story

When I was diagnosed with my neck bulge back in 2016, my life drastically changed. I had to adapt any sort of strenuous training and found that swimming is the one thing that does not affect it. To help others the obvious thing for me to do is to take part in this while I raise some much needed funds. And it keep me active and healthy. 

I would appreciate any donations.

Thanks

Bruce
