Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are calling on the nation to get down to the pool for Swimathon 2020 - thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge. Cancer Research UK, the worlds 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 peoples homes all over the UK, providing hands-on care to people when they need it most.

On 27th - 29th March, over 21,000 swimmers will be heading to over 600 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.

Please support me to support them to support those who need it most! We never know when WE might be the one asking for their support!

£20 pays for a Marie Curie Nurse to look after someone with a terminal illness for one hour, in the comfort of their own home.

£30 will cover the cost of running a cervical cancer trial for 1 day, helping us continue to our life-saving research. 

£50 buys a scientific sieve to separate out big bits and small bits of DNA to reveal vital clues about how to beat cancer.

£70 pays for someone with a terminal illness to attend day therapy at a Marie Curie Hospice.
