Swimathon 2019 is the World’s largest annual fundraising swim.

I have taken part every year for 25 years, having first taken part in the Swimathon in 1994, so this is my 26th time. I have completed 5,000 metres each time so at the conclusion of this year;s swim I will have covered 130 kilometres.

The main charities for which Swimathon 2019 is raising money are 

Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie cancer care.

Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity is dedicated to saving lives through research. They 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.

On 29^th – 31^st March 2019, over 21,000 swimmers will be heading down to over 600 pools across the UK to raise money for these two charities and helping people living with cancer.

 

You can make a difference by supporting me or any of the other swimmers who are backing

these two incredible causes.
