I am doing this swim in memory of my grandpa and to raise money for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. My grandpa lost his battle with lung cancer 4 years ago. He was an amazing man and loved by all. Lung cancer should not have taken him from us so early.

This year I am swimming 1 mile in my wetsuit in the Thames, then 1 mile just skins (no wetsuit). Even though I have done lots of swimming in the past I have never done an event quite like this! I would love to raise £1000 for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. Every penny counts!!
