On 29th March 2020, I will be swimming 5K in order to raise money for the charities listed. I am participating in the Swimathon as unfortunately I have experienced the effects of cancer first hand, losing my Grampy in 2016 very suddenly. And unfortunately my aunty is also effected once again, having beaten cancer once before. 

I have always enjoyed swimming so thought this would be a great way to set myself a challenge but also to raise funds. I have completed 2 Swimathons before, a number of year ago in my early teens- one at a distance of 2.5K and the second at 5K. I plan to raise funds in other ways such as cake sales. 

Please help me by donating whatever you can to help these causes. Anything you can spare will help me to reach my goal of £300. Thank you.
