Story

This year I am taking part in Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation's Swimming the Distance in memory of my Dad, who we sadly lost to this devastating disease in 2002.   

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only charity in the UK solely dedicated to supporting people affected by all forms of the disease and leading the charge to improve outcomes so people can live through lung cancer rather than die of it.

This October marks 20 years since we had to say goodbye to my incredible Dad, in his memory I will be swimming 20 miles throughout November, 1,609 lengths, 32,187 metres. 53 lengths every day for the entire month! This is a massive challenge for me, but this is for a cause so close to my heart,  so if you are able to donate any amount, it would mean so much to me!

THANK YOU!
