Between the 27th and the 29th of March I will be attempting to swim 5km every day at various Swimathon events in order to raise money for charities supporting people living with cancer and raising money to fund research. This challenge will mean I am attempting to swim 15km (600 lengths of a 25m pool) over 3 days.

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.

Please donate whatever you can towards this great cause. Any donations, large or small, are greatly appreciated in order to help people with cancer.
