On 26 May , I will be doing my best to swim a Mile in London's Victoria dock. I'm swimming for Macmillan who work to reach and improve the lives of people with cancer. Please sponsor me as Macmillan needs all our support, and it will help spur me on every stoke!

Macmillan helps people who are living with cancer, and their carers and families in all sorts of amazing ways. They guide people through the system, supporting them every step of the way. They fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals and build cancer care centres. But they give so much more than medical help. People need practical support at home, so they provide anything from some precious time off for a carer, to a lift to hospital. People need emotional support, so they listen, advise and share information though their cancer support specialists, website and trained professionals. People need financial help to cope with the extra costs cancer can bring, so they give benefits advice, and grants for anything from heating bills to travel costs. Together they listen, they learn, they act to help people live with cancer.
