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 updates

Twelfth Swim

Friday 23rd Aug
After work swim today, taking me over my target. 16,360m swum in August now.

Eleventh Swim - Target Reached!

Thursday 22nd Aug
I reached my target this morning! Another 1,240m completed, taking my total to 15,040m!! I’m so incredibly proud of myself, as I thought I’d be really pushing at the end of the month to reach the 15km target, so to have reached it more than a week early is incredible to me. Anything more now is a bonus 🥳

Tenth Swim

Wednesday 21st Aug
Back to it after my illness. It felt like a bit of a harder swim today than the rest of the month, but pleased I managed 1,280m. This brings my total to 13,800m and the target is in sight!!

Ninth swim

Monday 19th Aug
A few days late, but I managed to get another 1.5km in before I came down with a nasty bug. 12,520m so far, but still have a few more days to rest and get over this before I can get back to it.

Eighth Swim

Tuesday 13th Aug
A little later posting, but had another lovely swim this morning and reached 11km in total for the month so far. My target is in sight! I never imagined that I’d be almost there when we’re not even half way through the month.

Seventh swim

Monday 12th Aug
Sixth swim and another 1540m. My total is now up to 9760m.

Fourth swim
