Story

The Mad-Maids of Polperro are a group of like-minded women who appreciate the benefits that regular sea water swimming brings.

Several Maids have been lucky enough to secure places in this year's Looe Island swim and we need your support to encourage us to complete this challenging swim of just over a mile in the open water together. Why not come and see us train in Polperro Harbour around 8 am, better still, please make a donation! Any amount you can give, really does make a difference.

The Chestnut Appeal for Men's Health Mission is: to increase awareness of Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer and Penile Cancer; to get more men talking about their health and taking action; to fund salaries of Specialist Prostate Cancer Nurses; to provide equipment for Prostate Cancer care; to fund the latest treatments that may not be available on the NHS; to run and facilitate online resources and support groups; to make sure the South West corner of the UK isn’t forgotten, and that the very best technologies are brought to the area.

The success of The Chestnut Appeal is a testament to what can be achieved if we all work together as a community. The funds raised by The Mad-Maids will help support Prostrate, Testicular and Penile Cancer patients and their families in the South West.

Thank you for your support from me and on behalf of The Mad-Maids of Polperro Team x
