I'm proud to be supporting such great charities and am looking forward to challenging myself with this swim; it should take a bit over an hour and a half - the water temperature had dipped down to 17 degrees on Saturday - fingers crossed it goes no lower

 Thanks in advance for your support!

Open Water Swimathon is back! Bigger and better than ever before! Join us to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie; two causes close to the nation’s heart.  

Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity is dedicated to saving lives through research. They 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.

This is your chance to fundraise for two incredible causes. Take on the Open Water Swimathon challenge and make lives better by raising money for Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie.
