Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

We are a dedicated team preparing to take on the Bournemouth Pier to Pier Swim 2026 on 27 June 2026, and we are passionate about making a difference by supporting the British Heart Foundation.

This challenge means so much to us. In fact, until November, the majority of our team struggled to swim 500 metres. Through months of training, perseverance, and sheer determination, we have pushed ourselves far beyond what we thought possible and will now attempt to swim 1.4 miles. It will be a huge physical and mental challenge for every one of us, but we are committed to crossing that finish line.

This swim is also particularly poignant for our team. During our training journey, one of our team members, Sarah, sadly suffered a heart attack and is no longer able to take part in the event. Sarah has been an inspiration to us all, and we will be swimming with her firmly in our thoughts. Every stroke we take will be for you, Sarah.

Every stroke we swim is a step towards hope for those affected by heart and circulatory diseases. Despite incredible progress, hundreds of lives are still lost every day in the UK, and this urgent challenge calls for our collective action. The British Heart Foundation has been instrumental in helping to reduce these deaths through groundbreaking research and innovative treatments — but they cannot do it alone.

Your support fuels this vital work. Just £24 can fund two hours of research by an early-career scientist striving to unlock new cures and save lives. Every pound you give brings us closer to breakthroughs that will transform futures.

Please give generously if you can. This will be a genuine challenge for us all, and knowing that we are raising funds for such an important cause will help carry us through every mile.
