Swimathon 2020 · 27 March 2020 to 31 December 2020 ·

Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are calling on the nation to get down to the pool for Swimathon 2020 - thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge.

Story

On 29th March, Rosemary (8) and her mum (Paula) & Aunty Nic are going to take part in the annual Swimathon to raise money for Cancer Research UK & Marie Curie.

Their aim is to swim 500m (20 lengths) each, to reach a total goal of 1.5km. Rosemary is confident she will achieve this and so is Aunty Nic. Mum thinks she may need rescuing after 5 lengths, but is going to give it a go. Imagine 2 mako sharks racing a manatee and you kind of get the picture.

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.
