I'm taking on the Swim 10k Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer

Support my Swim 10k Challenge

I'm taking on the Swim 10k Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer.  I will be swimming 10k in the great outdoors between 1 - 31 July. 

Join me in supporting a good cause and your contribution will make a big impact to children and young people with cancer. Whether you donate £5 or £500, every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.

Children and young people with cancer are facing a hard summer. Instead of making precious memories with their family, treatment means that they’re facing weeks spent many miles from home.

But cancer doesn’t have to mean families are torn apart. That special moments are lost. You can keep families together this winter.

£26 could pay for an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer social worker, so that children and young people with cancer, and their families, get the right care and support at the right time

£70 could pay for a night in a Young Lives vs Cancer Homes from Home, a free place for families to stay close to specialist hospitals when their child is going through treatment, keeping families together

10k in the bag

Thursday 17th Jul
I put in what was probably 2km at Broadfields last night, though my watch seemed to think is was closer to 3k! Either way, it means I'm over the finish line. But I'm going to keep going and see how far I can go!

Another 2k in the bag!

Sunday 13th Jul
OK, according to my watch, it was 1.97km. Measuring is hard in open water. However, this puts me at 8.2km out of 10, which puts me well on the way to meeting my goal, even if work intervenes to keep me out of the lake for a week, which it might do. But I'll keep going!

6.2km total!

Saturday 12th Jul
Another 2k today at Lenches Lakes in tropical 24° water. 

2nd swim in!

Sunday 6th Jul
2.4km at Lenches this morning. Water temp 22°, air temp 17°, with a bit of rain.

First swim in!

Thursday 3rd Jul
1.88km at Broadfields Wild Swimming
