Story

Hello Lovely Peoole ☺️

My name is Zac Johngir and on Saturday April 27th I will be joining my Year 8 and Year 7 teammates from King Edwards Camphill Boys Grammar and KE Camp Hill Girls Grammar school to participate in a 10K (400 lengths in a 25m pool) swim challenge and support two incredible charity partners (listed below) by raising funds.

Sadly, on the 8th of December 2023 I lost my dear Auntie to Cancer 😢 Please please can you be very generous and kind and donate as much as you possibly can so we can help lots of other lovely people including young children who are suffering and living with Cancer on a day to day basis 😔

Cancer Research UK is the largest charitable funder of cancer research in the world and will stay at the forefront of the global fight against cancer. 1 in 2 of us will get cancer. All of us can support the research that will beat it.

Marie Curie is here for people with any terminal illness, and those close to them from diagnosis to bereavement. Our nurses and healthcare assistants support families directly across the UK. Our free support line can help with any question about end of life. And we campaign for structural change and fund vital research that improves end of life for everyone.

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.
