This August, I will be switching running to swimming by completing the Cancer Research's 10km swim, in memory of my mum who battled the disease for 7 years. I am hoping to raise money for the life-saving research and will continue to do so until we find a cure, to stop families having to suffer the loss of their loved ones from cancer. Please donate if you are able to, but if you can't, please help by raising awareness and support for this important cause. Thank you ❤️
