I have set this page up for my daughter Charlotte aged 11 and her friend Olivia aged 12 who are swimming 5km between them to raise money for Cancer research. They have both had family members who have been affected by cancer. Some of whom survived and are doing well and others who were less fortunate and did not win the battle with cancer. They both love swimming and wanted to challenge themselves.  Please support Charlotte and Olivia in raising as much money as possible for this brilliant cause. 

Cancer Research UK is the largest charitable funder of cancer research in the world and will stay at the forefront of the global fight against cancer. 1 in 2 of us will get cancer. All of us can support the research that will beat it. Marie Curie is here for people with any terminal illness, and those close to them from diagnosis to bereavement. Our nurses and healthcare assistants support families directly across the UK. Our free support line can help with any question about end of life.And we campaign for structural change and fund vital research that improves end of life for everyone. On 26-28 April, thousands of swimmers will be heading to over 400 pools across the UK to raise money for our two amazing charity partners. 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.
