I started swimming more seriously after I had breast cancer, mainly to recover from treatment but also because research suggests being active reduces the risk of cancer significantly so it’s a way of taking back some control too! Last year I completed the 100 length MySwimathon challenge and really enjoyed it so I signed up to do it again. Me and Martin are also going to walk the West Highland Way. Originally planned in March.
Well Covid messed up the plan but we will (hopefully) be starting our walk on Saturday now. Plan is to do the Swimathon when we get back!

A few people asked if I was doing it for a cause but it’s just something I wanted to do. However if anyone would like to sponsor me for completing both Challenges I would be delighted! (All costs of WHW are covered by us already and all money raised will be split between Marie Curie and Cancer ResearchUK)
