During the past year I have taken up cold water swimming as a way to still keep active, help with my nerve pain (sadly a long term side effect from treatment) and give my mental health a boost. 

February 2021 sees me reaching 10 years since my breast cancer diagnosis and 10 years of being 'no evidence of disease'. 

I thought I would take the opportunity to try and do 10 cold water swims (there may be fancy dress!) during February and hopefully raise a bit of money for The Stars Appeal - my local hospital charity that invited me to help build a dedicated Breast Unit and a charity that  provides so much more for both patients and staff.
