Story

Yes I'm going swimming!

There really is no skirting around the fact that the big 'C' is currently one of the biggest (and scariest) health issues that affect the majority of us directly or indirectly, and the numbers of people affected are rising.

So I thought what can I do?

Having personally experienced the effect that the big 'C' has had on close relatives and loved ones,  I have decided to participate in Swimathon 2020 and as it's a marathon why not opt for the 5K??? That's 200 lengths / 100 laps (It's also 5,000 meters, 5,468 yards, 16,404 feet, and so on, just so you get the picture ).

Provided that my lungs cooperate I'm hoping to reach a target of £550 for Marie Curie & Cancer Research UK, so your kind donations to help me reach this goal would be much appreciated!

No amount is too big or too small, every little helps!

...Guess I'd better start training! : )
