Story

Swim 47.1miles in 20 Hours - Mind Blowing!

We'd love to raise £4,700 - That's £100 for each of the 47 miles Craig swims!

The challenge is to swim the entire length of the navigable Warwickshire River Avon from Alveston above Stratford-upon-Avon to Tewkesbury.

​If successful Craig Openshaw will become an un-official World Record Holder.

We are delighted to be raising money for Cancer Research UK.

All Team Swim The Avon members are fathers & hope for a better future for our children. One where cancer affects fewer people.

Tragically we've all lost family members, friends & loved ones to this brutal disease. That's why we want to help make a positive change.

Cancer won't disappear in our lifetimes but we feel it our personal responsibility to help those that could do so much good work to provide better outcomes & treatment for those affected.

All donations are genuinely & warmly welcomed especially in light of the difficult financial circumstances Covid-19 has caused for many.

Thank you very much for your support... Craig, Strings, Phil, George & Bob.
