**Update**

Unfortunately I had to postpone my swim until 6th August, however the mighty Adam Kelly took to the water yesterday.

Congratulations on a great effort!!!

Along with the 'Reasons to be Running' lot, I'll be raising money for Brain Tumor Research in memory of a top bloke, Liam Bergin.

Liam was diagnosed in 2020 with an aggressive glioblastoma multiforme and sadly passed away in June 2023.

Having known Liam for a while and bonded over sport, food and of course a drink, I'm honoured to be raising money in his memory, especially supporting a cause he so successfully supported since his diagnosis, raising over £40,000.

I'm not new to swimming but this is going to be a challenge and I'd so much appreciate anything you can give towards this important cause.
