Cancer touches us all in one way or another and devastates lives.  We can lie down and let it beat us or we can stand together, united and kick the hell out of it!  I know which path I decided to take back in 2017 when our family were met with the biggest battle of our lives and I never imagined my fight would steer me back to the love of my daughters lives, a swimming pool, where I spent many years watching them progress and compete at events all over the country.

So, I took the plunge (pardon the pun!) and learned to swim “properly” as my coach said.  I even managed to perfect tumble turns, well, in a fashion!

So, how can I give something back to all those amazing people that supported me and my girls through a labyrinth of craziness?  Ably accompanied by Sarah, my loyal friend since the age of 11, we’re going to splash our way through 200 lengths of our local pool to raise much needed funds to kick the ass right out of cancer! 

If you feel like you can spare a few pennies (or even pounds) that’d be fabulous.  This is such a worthy cause and every donation helps make life just that little bit easier when dealing with this damn awful disease that Cancer Research UK quote will affect 1 in every 2 of us in the UK - scary stuff!
