Hi I’m Simon I’m nearly 59 and going to swim 10KM on my Dad’s birthday 15 Jan 2026. I am raising money for Purple Heart Wishes 💜 in memory of my loving parents and my brother in law Alex Meers, who tragically passed away from leukaemia at just 40 in 2006. Alex’s legacy is his three beautiful girls, who I’m enormously proud of. Watch out for their incredible fund raiser next year swimming the channel https://www.justgiving.com/page/channelswim2026?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

Purple Heart 💜 wishes is a charity that grants wishes to people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness aged 18-55.

By donating as little as £1 you can help towards granting a wish to create precious memories 💜
