We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

Swimming solo from England to France on 7th September 2014 was an unforgettable experience.

Last year, I was privileged to be part of a six person relay to be the first team to swim the English Channel BUTTERFLY.

This was another experience that will remain with me for the rest of my life.

This year the team are back together to attempt to be the first to Swim Lake Geneva butterfly. Kevin Blick, Sam Mould, Rob Ouldcott, Boris Mavra, Robert Fisher and myself will be traveling to Switzerland in July for our window that opens on the 12th.

At 43 miles, Geneva is twice as far and might be a bit colder than the Channel, it also lacks the bouyancy of saltwater which will make our challenge a lot harder.

Leukaemia and Lymphoma research need every penny to carry on their outstanding work and ensure that everything possible is done to beat blood cancers.
Thank You
