Hi, I’m Paddy. Thanks for visiting my Just Giving page.

This September, I am swimming the Serpentine to raise money for The Ruth Strauss Foundation. I am doing this because my cousin Gini has stage 4 lung cancer, and she works for this foundation. She wants to raise awareness of non-smoking related lung cancers, and make sure other families get support, so I want to support her. I am also doing it because I love outdoor swimming!

I will be doing training swims leading up to the day - starting with 200m, and hopefully building up to 1,000m before the actual swim, which is half a mile. I will keep updating my page with how I am doing.

My mum will be swimming with me. This charity is very important to her as she is close to Gini and believes in what they do.

Please support my cause and follow my swimming - I have an Instagram page wet_weekends

Thanks, Paddy
