Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are calling on the nation to get down to the pool for Swimathon 2024 - thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge.

Story

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. 

On 28th April 2024 I will be one of thousands of swimmers who will head to a swimming pool to raise money for these two fantastic causes.

I hope to swim 5,000 metres - 200 lengths of the pool - to raise money for Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie Cancer care.

Please consider sponsoring me or another participant. Together we can really make a difference to people living with cancer today, and people who might suffer from it in the future.
