I'm swimming 33KM this August to raise money 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 will be swimming 33KM 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

Swim update!

Thursday 8th Aug
I've unfortunately had covid recently so have missed a few sessions.
☹️. I've currently completed 274 lengths which isn't bad, but recovering from covid with the fatigue that's following I may need to push this into September as well so I don't drown! I will try my best to get it done in August if I can though. I'll keep you updated on my progress! Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored me so far, I've smashed through my target which I'm so pleased with!!

Any donations are welcome!  Thank you for your support. :)
