Vicky Profit, events fundraiser, said: “Swimming is a fantastic way to get and keep fit and if you feel you would like an incredible challenge which is different to just swimming at your local leisure centre, this experience is for you. It is a special event to take part in and an amazing achievement to say you’ve done it, particularly as you’ll be helping our Marie Curie Nurses.”

Sign up today and raise funds for Marie Curie Nurses, who provide free care to people with terminal cancer and other illnesses in their own homes and in the charity’s nine hospices.

When you have received your place, visit the Marie Curie Cancer Care website www.mariecurie.org.uk/swimming or call us on 0870 034 0040.
