The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, we're doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are. To donate, volunteer, raise money or campaign with us, call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk

Story

We all know and have lost those we love to cancer. It is truly heartbreaking. Those that fight the fight, ALL do so bravely.

So come November the 1st, I'm going to be brave too... and take part in the Penguin and Polar Bear Swim challenge. This means swimming in open water (for me the sea) EVERY week from Nov 1st till March 31st... but most significantly without a wetsuit... and whatever the weather 🥶. I'm feeling the cold already! 5 long months of freezing Wim Hof style swims to complete, yikes!!! Its going to be a physical and mental challenge.

Some of my swim gal pals are amazingly joining me - a testament to how others can help you when you need it, just like Macmillan Cancer Support help when its needed.

Macmillan do an incredible job supporting those who are battling the disease, as well as their immediate families who equally need support.

Donate today and it really does help those in need. Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving, once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.

Thank you!

Love K xxxx
