Jonathon's English Channel Swim for Cancer Research UK

Jonathon Hardy is raising money for Cancer Research UK

English Channel Crossing · 29 July 2026

We‘re the world‘s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving and improving lives through research. We fund research into the prevention, detection and treatment of more than 200 types of cancer through the work of over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses.

Story

In Aug 2026, I will be setting off from Dover and swimming 33km across the English Channel to Calais in France.

I am personally covering all the costs of this personal sporting challenge and also using the opportunity to raise money for a cause that affects us all.

We have all lost loved ones to cancer and I have close family members fighting the disease at the moment.

Cancer research UK are an incredible organisation and is the largest independent cancer research organisation in the world.

Support my swim and more importantly this crucial research but giving what you can.
