My 15k Swim Challenge
Fundraising for Cancer Research UK, Marie Curie & The Swimathon Foundation
Story
This is my 5th year participating in Swimathon and it has become a very personal and important moment in the calendar for me .Swimming has helped me get fit and healthy and stay that way over the last five years and Swimathon has been a goal to aim at to keep me on track . Also I have had friends and family ( including my Mum ) who have suffered from Cancer during this time so raising money for these fantastic charities seems even more important to me than before . I have also set myself my most ambitious target to swim 15k( the longest distance I have done before this is just under 6k!) over the Swimathon fortnight and hopefully raise more money than ever before . I do hope you read this and whether you are a friend , family member , colleague, causal acquaintance or complete stranger you will consider sponsoring me . Below is some more information on why this is such a great event benefiting really valuable organisations. Thanks for taking the time.
Very Best
Adrian
Swimathon 2021 is here! Thousands of swimmers will be heading down to their local pool between Friday 10th September and Sunday 12th September to complete their challenge, and raise money for our two amazing charity partners.
Cancer Research UK, the worlds leading cancer charity is dedicated to saving lives through funding research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Cancer Research UK are the only charity fighting over 200 cancer types but 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.
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.
