On 30 July, I will be donning my wetsuit and goggles and swimming across the Camel Estuary to raise money for Marie Curie. They provide invaluable services for people with terminal illnesses, as well as their families. The swim is about a mile so keep your fingers crossed for me that it isn’t too windy on the day!!

Marie Curie provides care and support for people living with any terminal illness across the UK. Our nurses work night and day in peoples homes and our hospices offer specialist care. We also support people emotionally, provide practical information, and match them with trained volunteers.
