Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Throughout our childhood and teenage years, we spent a large majority of our time together at Hindley ASC training and competing. Although most of us barely swim anymore, 11 of us have decided to take on the Big Bala Swim to raise money for Wigan and Leigh Hospice in memory of our incredible friend Becca Caunce. 

Becca was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the age of 24. She had chemo, a mastectomy and radiotherapy - and was given the all clear. 9 months later, we were all devastated to hear that the cancer had returned in her brain. During the pandemic, Becca was taken into the hospital. At the time, Wigan and Leigh Hospice was full - but they made it possible for her to be brought in. They looked after Becca, and her family and friends, right until the very end.

We want to raise money for Wigan and Leigh Hospice in memory of Becca, to make sure they can continue the incredible work they do supporting others in similar situations. 

The Big Bala Swim has several distances and we will be doing either the 1.5km or 4.5km. Most of us haven't done any open water swimming events before so any distance will be a big challenge. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thankyou for your support, we will keep everyone updated with our training and progress until the event in June 2023!
