Story

Hello! And welcome to our fundraising page. We're doing a dip every day in October to raise money for Maggie's. Cancer is pretty shit isn't it. It feels very overwhelming and knowing how to help can be tricky. We figured dipping ourselves in ridiculously cold rivers, lakes, pods and showers was something we can do! Thank you for your support ♥️

In July, my Mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. To say it was a huge shock, is to grossly understate the impact in had on our family. Cancer is huge head fuck and a total emotional rollercoaster, I cannot even fathom the emotional and physical challenges my Mum faces daily. Maggie's provide essential, free support to anyone experiencing the affects of Cancer. When Lauren showed me the fundraising challenge they had started, we thought it was an excellent way to show support. If dunking ourselves in a freezing lake, river, shower, bath or pool everyday provides them with money to continue the vital work they do, then I'm in. If you can donate, we'd really appreciate it. If you can spare kind words of encouragement: amazing.

And if you're reading this Mum, you're amazing, strong and one of a kind. Let's keep fighting. We're here every step of the way. Love you.
