Tom's Long Swim

By Tom Harris

I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

I have, perhaps stupidly, decided to take part in a 10K swim on Saturday 6th July. Thanks to some coercing from a few old friends we've signed up to what will be a challenging splash about in Salford Quays (the Northern Riviera?), taking around 3.5 hrs to complete! Having recently completed a 5K swim, I can guarantee this will be a slog...

I would be really grateful if you could sponsor me in this challenge. I am raising money for a worthy cause, close to the hearts of me and my family. 

Pancreatic Cancer UK conduct innovative research, offer patient support & information, and campaign for better care, treatment and research of a cancer that is notoriously difficult to detect.

A big thanks for your support.

Tom

p.s. I’ll let you know how I get on in the end. If I manage to raise a decent amount, I may well one-up myself and go for a 10 mile swim…easy to say at this point but it’s an incentive for your donation!

 

My donations could fund...

25 hours with a nurse on our Support Line

or

11 hours of early diagnosis research
