I'm fundraising for Bowel Cancer UK

Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and we're determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.

I’m diving into Swim15 this August and raising money to help save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. The money I raise will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, fund and support research into bowel cancer and support campaigns for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all. 

Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with more than 16,500 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable.

My daughter's Dance teacher is a bowel cancer survivor, so I would love to do this for Vicky and others who have been diagnosed.

The plan!

Wednesday 24th Jul
As most know I am a swimming teacher and swam competitively during my teens. My plan is to swim at work when I have no lesson in and then when we get to Greece on 14th August I will do the bulk of the distance there. I'll be keeping track on my Fitbit and phone. 15 kilometres is the equivalent to 15000 meters easy! So please donate and share to help make a difference!

Thank you
