Swimathon 2019 · 29 March 2019 to 31 March 2019 ·

Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are calling on the nation to get down to the pool for Swimathon 2019 - thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge.

Story

Last year, my friend Paula and I shared a 5k swim in 1h40mins and raised £340. This year we have signed ourselves up as individuals attempting to swim 5 kms each ( 200 lengths), non-stop within 2 hours. 

This is a great excuse to get back into  shape and be prepared for my sea swim season which should start early as I have not stopped getting in the sea throughout  the winter. This is my way to feel alive, to mark time and feel healthy and strong in both, body and mind. 

I have seen friends and family battling with cancer, when the whole being is under attack and a life on hold. For their sake and the one of the many who are still in the fight, I would like to raise £200 ( £1 per lengths will help me going). Feel free to help me reach this goal whichever way you can. 

We will be swimming our challenge Saturday 30th March at Splash Point pool in Worthing between 5pm and 8pm. Come and cheer us up if you can!
