Story

Dear friends and family,

I have decided to challenge myself this year, in memory of my father, and to support all those who face the challenges of cancer, and take part in the Swimathon. I have not done the Swimathon since I was a teenager (a long time ago) but I have always been fond of the water and thought that this year it would be good to try again and raise money for such a worthy cause.

I have opted to swim 1.5k, which is 60 lengths of my local pool. All proceeds will go towards Cancer Research. 

Thank you for your support.
