Thank you for taking the time to visit our page.

We are 4 ladies Sarah, Tracey, Ellie and Becca who are going to swim 30 miles in the month of July 2023 to raise money for the Mermaid Centre at Treliske Hospital in Truro. This is a fantastic facility that helps ladies fight breast cancer and help prevent it.

Between the 4 of us we have all had family members and friends that have had need of this amazing centre.

Now, sadly, a wonderful and beautiful young woman that we know and love is starting her journey to fight and beat this terrible disease.

Please help us help them by sponsoring us to swim 30 miles which is 48270 metres OR 1930.8 lengths of Carn Brea Pool!!!

We will be posting updates of us as we go along and our Team Manager, Katrina is logging all of our work and making sure we hit our target ❤️

Supporting The Mermaid Centre Fund, part of Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity will help us to provide additional equipment, enhance our environments and provide additional training for our staff all to provide the very best care that we can for our patients.

The Mermaid Centre is home to the Cornwall Breast Screening Programme (NHS BSP) and the Oncoplastic Breast Unit. We also monitor patients with a family history that maybe at higher risk of developing breast cancer.

It was one of the first units in the UK to have a fully digitalised mammography screening service. Our commitment to providing the highest possible quality screening programme was judged the best screening programme in the region in 2008, and among the best in the UK by the South West Screening Quality Assurance team. In October 2011, the Mermaid Centre was one of the first breast units in the country to be endorsed by Breakthrough Breast Cancer for our Service Pledge commitment to the patients of Cornwall.

Thank you
