The Thames Hospice Open Water Swim Challenge is open to all swimmers whether a seasoned pro who can manage long distances or those who have only swum in a pool and fancied dipping into open water. Swimmers will take on a 500m, 1km, 5km or 10km distance either individually or as part of a team. Whilst this challenge for many will be tough they know what a difference they will make to those patients and families who are facing the most difficult of challenges. Thames Hospice are here to ensure that our patients and their families don't face this alone and are cared for with utmost compassion, dignity and respect. Funds raised from this challenge will ensure that we can offer compassionate care to all those who need it now and into the future.
