Story
Between us we've all been impacted by and lost too many friends and family to cancer. We want to do something positive to combat this truly awful disease. We first met through our shared passion for climate change and in a few short years we have become wonderful friends. Over the (many) hours we have talked about the world we discovered a shared 'bucket list' to try open water swimming. We started in September when the water was a warm 12-14 degrees and we have tried to go every week since - it helps to keep acclimatised! Although we are still getting a real dopamine high from our dips and swims we have no idea how cold we can go!!! 🥶 So we have decided to combine our hatred of cancer and our love of 'dipping' by taking part in the 12 Dips of Christmas to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. The more funds we raise the closer we all get to a time when cancer doesn't have the same life limiting impact on the people we love. So why not sponsor us as a Christmas gift... Maybe the warm fuzzy feeling we will get from your support, will keep us from getting too cold!!! Thank you for taking the time to read our story, we will keep you updated on our dips as we go. Love, Caroline, Kay & Claire xx
