Story

Last August I lost my friend and nanny, Bridie Healey, to cancer. She had looked after me and my brothers with love and care for all of our lives.

I want to raise money to help defeat this terrible disease so I've decided to do a 2.5 km sponsored open water swim for Cancer Research and Marie Curie. 

I love swimming but the longest distance I usually swim non-stop is only 200m. I also hate cold water so 2.5km in a lake is no easy task. I've been training hard and want to raise as much money as possible for these great charities.

I would be so pleased if you could sponsor me.

Love
