Story

Sofia is 11 years old. She has autism and is visually impaired,  but she doesn’t let anything stop her from achieving her goals.   

And her current goal is to make life better for people dealing with cancer and their families by doing her first ever swimathon.  And Sofia being Sofia is taking on the maximum distance of 5k.   

We would be very grateful if you could support Sofia with a small donation.  I know money is tight but it’s a good cause and 200 lengths (in one session) is a long way to swim,  even for my little fish 🐟 

On your marks.... Swimathon is back in 2018!

Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are teaming up and heading down to the pool for Swimathon 2018 – thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge.

Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research, will be involved in Swimathon for the first time. 

Marie Curie, the UK’s leading charity for people with any terminal illness and their families, has been Swimathon's charity partner ten times since it launched in 1986 and has raised over £17 million for the charity through the event during that time. 

By taking part in the world’s biggest fundraising swimming event you will be fundraising for two incredible causes.

A challenge for everyone. A #SwimForAll
