This is a slightly different kind of post than my usual tech ramblings. This year I’ve signed up for three months of back-to-back swimming challenges to support two amazing Cancer charities.
I really enjoy swimming, it’s my favourite kind of exercise. But I often find I need a goal to motivate myself, so why not try and raise some money for charity.
Swim 10k for Cancer Research UK (May)
In May I’m doing the Cancer Research UK Swim 10k Challenge. The goal is to swim 10km cumulatively throughout the month to raise money for cancer research.

Macmillan Swim It (June & July)
In June and July I’m doing Macmillan Swim It for the second time. The challenge is to swim 21 miles across the two months, the same distance as the English Channel. I did it for the first time last year and enjoyed it enough to sign up again. Macmillan raises money to support people living with cancer and their families.
If you feel able to donate to either cause that would be great and I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
