Story
Angel and I will be swimming 100 lengths each! (Last year was 50 each) to raise money for these two worthy charities. Over the years we have seen much-loved family and dear friends receive treatment for this disease. Fortunately (and a true blessing), some are living a healthy life today and some are currently receiving treatment. While some were not so fortunate and are dearly missed.
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.
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.
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.
