Story

This is our story. Suzie and I are taking part in the Thames Hospice Open Water Swim Challenge. Both of us are experienced open water swimmers - indeed we swim all year round at Bray Lake. Whilst this event will challenge me at 1km, Suzie will be swimming 5 km and this will be a stretch for her. We know what a difference the money will make to those patients and families who are facing the most difficult of times.

💚 £11 could pay for a patient’s medication for a day

💚 £23 could pay for an assisted bath helping a patient to relax

💚 £52 could pay for a bereavement call to support a family member

Thames Hospice are here to ensure that patients and their families are cared for with the utmost compassion, dignity and respect. Funds raised from our swim will ensure that Thames Hospice can continue to provide care to those in the local community.
