Hello!

We are back for year 8 of the Swimathon Challenge!

We would like to start by thanking everyone who has supported us on this incredible fundraising journey since 2017 with a special mention to ABWorld Foods and the staff and students at St Marys High School. Together we have raised over £3500 and it means so much to us and our family. 

As always, we are doing this swim in memory of our amazing nan who sadly lost her battle with cancer in 2017. She always taught us about the importance of giving and how “The joy of giving is always greater than the joy of receiving”. It’s a message we hold close to us and a legacy we want to continue which is why will be once again calling our campaign “The joy of giving”. 

Our target this year is £600 and the money we raise will be going to the two amazing charities Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie whose incredible work is changing the lives of so many people each year. 

Please join us on this Swimathon journey by donating what you can as every contribution will make a difference.

Thank you once again for all your generous contributions and always remember that “The joy of giving is always greater than the joy of receiving”.

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.
