Story

Between the 27th - 29th March, I will be attempting three 5km swims as part of the Swimathon event. I do not expect charity for the sake of it...I love to swim and I am pretty good at it despite my advancing age...but there is also a chance to raise money for causes that have helped or supported, directly or indirectly, myself, my family and pretty much everyone I know in one way or another over my entire adult life. 

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 take some time to consider supporting my challenge and donating to these worthy causes.
