Andys 2020 Swimathon Triple 5km
Andrew Burt is raising money for Cancer Research UK, Marie Curie & The Swimathon Foundation
Story
This year for Swimathon 2020 I will be attempting to swim 5km each day for three consecutive days for Cancer Research and Marie Curie Cancer care.
This is my biggest challenge to date and not helped by the limitations on swimming suite to Covid-19 restrictions which have meant that I have been unable to swim further than about 2km in single session this year. It is my plan to swim 5km on 24th, 25th and 26th August. Fingers crossed.
Your donations (no matter how small) are welcome if you think and the cause is worthy.
