Story

Hi, Izzy's Dad here, John.

Welcome to Izzys fundraising page, Izzy is 10 and loves swimming!

After losing family members to cancer, Izzy has shown an interest in raising money for a cancer charity. Recently, somebody she knows has had cancer return and has decided to do what she does best to raise money for Abby's Heroes.

Izzy swims every week on a Wednesday, despite having a 45 minute swimming lesson beforehand. She is swimming every Wednesday from September until Christmas.

In her first week on the 6th September she completed 33 lengths and gained her first sponsorship from one of her swimming teachers.
