This May I plan to complete 400 (800 lengths) laps for The Sara Lee Trust as part of their Laps of Love campaign. This is the start of my training for swimming the channel in a relay team next year.

Every year, this local charity helps hundreds of people in Hastings and Rother affected by cancer and other life threatening illnesses by providing free therapy services.

In a life which may have become dominated by the medical, The Sara Lee Trust provides “a hand to hold” in a safe and nurturing environment, not only for the patient but for their carers, family members and loved ones too, because they know that illness does not just affect the patient, but those around them as well.
