Story

Hello, I'm Zizi and live with a sarcoma cancer.

I've chosen to complete Swim for Sarcoma UK challenge, swimming 15km in 31 days for Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments.

I'm swimming to raise money for sarcoma research so I can live for longer than the internet currently thinks I can!

Hello, I'm Emily and my friend asked me to join her in this challenge so I said 'yes' before I really understood how long 15k is. We are learning that together though.

Thank you for visiting my page. I've chosen to complete Swim for Sarcoma UK challenge, swimming 15km in 31 days for Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments.

Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep the specialist Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.

Your donations will go so far in helping the sarcoma community:

£1 Could cover the cost of 12 texts to the support line.

£5 Could purchase 50 petri dishes, which researchers use to grow cells in the laboratory.

£30 Could fund one hour of use of a high-powered laboratory microscope.

Thank you for your support!
