Story
ASC swimmer Lucy dreamt of swimming the channel. So as part of her legacy we are holding a swim event where all ASC swimmers are challenged to swim the distance of the English channel in groups, in order to raise money for PAPYRUS. This is a great cause and challenge for the swimmers, 100% of the donations to this page will go directly to PAPYRUS.

PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINE247.
Every £5 raised can contribute towards a life-saving contact to HOPELINE247. Your donations really are lifesaving, thank you.
