Story

Hello to our dear friends, family and work colleagues.

At midnight on 15th July 2023, your local heroes Ben, Ant and Sam will embark on a 3km open water swimming challenge within the Arctic Circle from Finland to Sweden. 

We will be raising money for the Cancer Treatment and Research Trust (CTRT), a local fund that is dear to our hearts for Ben's mum who sadly left us in September 2020 after an 18 month fight with an extremely rare uterine cancer. 

You can have the upmost confidence in your donation knowing how gifted we are with our deadly physical prowess: Ben is barely 5ft tall and practices his laps in the children's swimming pool, Sam spends 90 minutes every Saturday in the water...in a bubble bath watching Liverpool's demise, and luckily Ant is the only one who remotely resembles Michael Phelps, if you bought him from Alibaba. 

However, against all odds, you can be sure your boys will conquer the cold Nordic waters along with your help and support! 

Thank you for everyone who is donating, we won’t let you down. Wish us good luck! 

Ben, Ant and Sam (Smo)
