Hi everyone 👋 I’ve decided to challenge myself. I need to do this for my own health and fitness but I’m also doing it for the people who aren’t able to do things like this due to ill health. Also what people go through to fight cancer Are the toughest people ever and me doing this challenge will be hard but nothing compared to what they go through. This cancer needs to be stamped out and that’s only going to happen if we raise money to fund the research and to help nurses to support patients and their families so on 28th Of March I will be heading down to Hinckley leisure centre to raise money for two amazing charity partners.
Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity is dedicated to saving lives through funding research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Cancer Research UK are the only charity fighting over 200 cancer types but 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.
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.
