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.

Losing my nan

Thursday 25th Jul
I was only one when my nan  passed away with bowel cancer but I know from all the stories that she was amazing. My nan did not get diagnosed early enough to catch it and died three months later on Boxing Day. 

I really want to raise as much money as I can to help other people to get help early and get as much support as possible.

Swimming is one of my favourite hobby this is going to challenge me but will feel amazing once I achieve my goal. My whole family will be so proud
