Story
Hi, I'm Bethany and am 12 years old. I have decided to set myself the challenge of swimming one mile to raise awareness and help contribute towards vital research into Cancer. Those who know my family and I will be aware that both my Grandpa's were recently touched by Cancer and Papa Albert unfortunately passed away this year with the disease. Whilst his death was very sad I am determined to do something positive in his memory. I will therefore be swimming a mile on 06 May at Water Meadows in Mansfield. Any donations, no matter how small, would be gratefully received. Many thanks.
Love Bethany x
On your marks.... Swimathon is back in 2018!
Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are teaming up and heading down to the pool for Swimathon 2018 – thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge.
Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research, will be involved in Swimathon for the first time.
Marie Curie, the UK’s leading charity for people with any terminal illness and their families, has been Swimathon's charity partner ten times since it launched in 1986 and has raised over £17 million for the charity through the event during that time.
