The Swimathon is back on! On the 1st September 2020 I swam 1500 metres in 36 minutes and 40 seconds at Ironmonger Row Baths, London.

As I was starting I was unsure whether I would complete the distance having not practiced due to the closure of swimming pools due to Covid. Suddenly a person passed me who was swimming with one leg! This gave me inspiration for the rest of the swim. There are always people a lot worse off than you are.

Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity is dedicated to saving lives through funding research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Cancer Research UK are the only charity fighting over 200 cancer types but don't receive any government funding for their work, so their progress is all thanks to the support of people like you.

Marie Curie provides expert care, guidance and support for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. Around 2,100 Marie Curie Nurses work day and night, in people’s homes all over the UK, providing hands-on care to people when they need it most.

Together we can really make a difference.

Best wishes
