Gavin's charity swimming fundraiser - 2021, 23 July 2021
We support the fight against men’s cancers to fund nurses, equipment & support.

Story

This is my fifth year of completing open-water swimming challenges to raise money for The Chestnut Appeal, which helps and supports men during and after their cancer treatments. ‬

This year, I worked with The Chestnut Appeal to organise the first-ever CAW-KING swim, which took place on 18th July 2021 with over 120 participants. 

Having completed this challenge, I'll now be participating in the Breakwater and St. Michael's Mount swims, and will be challenging myself to swim from Polhawn Beach to Cawsand Bay (which is approx. 9km / 5.5 miles). 

Any support you can provide for this cause would be greatly appreciated.
