Story
Edit Everyone is affected by cancer in some way and unfortunately our small family lost some-one special this summer. My lovely Uncle Keith fought his battle with Prostate Cancer courageously for a number of years and with absolute dignity, but sadly lost his fight on August 11th of this year. As a family team we want to raise money for Cancer Research UK’s Stand Up to Cancer campaign by taking on the Sink or Swim Channel Challenge. So, we're going to swim the distance of the channel during October which works out to 33,877 metres (1,355 lengths of a 25m pool). We're all getting in the pool to do our bit and even the children will swim as many lengths or metres as they can. Please support us...even join us in adding lengths to our total! The money we raise will help take breakthroughs in the lab and transform them into treatments and cures for cancer patients who need them right now. Dig deep and donate to help beat cancer at its own game! Devastatingly, 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. But this is the critical moment for cancer research. Advances in science have put cures within our grasp. So there’s no time to waste. Please support us and Stand Up To Cancer by giving generously. You’ll be funding translational research; clinical trials focused on finding new treatments as quickly as possible. Donating through these pages is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Cancer Research UK.
