I'm fundraising for Bowel Cancer UK

Recently Bowel Cancer affected my family when my dad diagnosed following a routine screening. However, he is one of the lucky ones and it was caught early at Stage 2 and the treatment so far has been a success and he is in remission. 

To see more people surging and thriving despite a diagnosis, Bowel Cancer UK are aiming to have 7 in 10 people diagnosed early at Stages 1 to 2 by 2028. 

In order to do this, more funding and research is needed and that is why I’m taking part in the Swim15 challenge this August. I will need to swim 15km over the month and am hoping to raise money along the way. 

This disease is treatable and curable if caught early and any money I raise will help them continue the invaluable work they are doing to make early diagnosis a reality. 

Thank you for donating ❤️

15km Done!

Wednesday 28th Aug
15km swim done ✅ (and with a few days to spare!) 🏊🏼‍♀️🎉

While I still can’t tell you in ‘real’ terms how far 15km is, I can tell you it’s a lot of lengths if you’ve only got access to a 12m pool 😂 

A special shout out to Pip Wood for being there while I swam a mind numbing amount of lengths and Jackie Pick for being the best campaign manager I could wish for! 

Lastly, thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored me so far (if you still want to, the link is below) and for helping me raise over £1000 for such a wonderful charity, I really appreciate all the support for such a great cause ❤️

Thank you to my Sponsors
