As part of Swimathon 2024, I'll be swimming 5km on 26 April at Blackburn Leisure Centre, which is the furthest I'll have ever swum in one go! Ever!

Fitness, access to healthcare, and supporting charitable organisations such as Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are very important to me. I don't fundraise often, so this event is not to be missed!

I'll keep you updated on how my training is going for this event.

Cancer Research UK is the largest charitable funder of cancer research in the world and will stay at the forefront of the global fight against cancer. 1 in 2 of us will get cancer. All of us can support the research that will beat it. 

Marie Curie is here for people with any terminal illness, and those close to them from diagnosis to bereavement. Our nurses and healthcare assistants support families directly across the UK. Our free support line can help with any question about end of life. And we campaign for structural change and fund vital research that improves end of life for everyone. 

What is Swimathon? On 26-28 April, thousands of swimmers will be heading to over 400 pools across the UK to raise money for our two amazing charity partners. Together we can really make a difference. We invite our swimmers to tell their story to help spread awareness and raise vital funds for these two incredible causes.
