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.

Challenge update

Tuesday 13th Aug
OK, I'm throwing down the gauntlet. 

This isn't just a sponsorship, this is a dare at this point. 

If I reach my fundraising total of £250, I will add another 10km onto the target distance. 25km instead of 15km.

A nice round 1000 lengths of the local pool during August.
