On the 20th March I swam the furthest distance I have ever done. Little over a year ago I could not even put my face under water and swim. 9 months of lessons with Tim at Corby pool and a further 6 months of encouragement from lovely hubby Ray and I took on this challenge & dragged along Amanda & Ray for the fun.

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.
