Story

Like many, over the last few years, I've seen and experienced the indiscriminate impact caused by cancer .

I'm planning to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support by swimming 21km along the length of Windermere on Sunday 1st September 2019. Whilst running 21km is a physical challenge, swimming 21km is both a physical and even bigger mental challenge, as the swim will take me between 7 and 12 hours depending on conditions on the day, a long time to be in the water face down!

I'm covering the full cost of the event and support and all money donates will go directly to Macmillan Cancer Support.
