Next weekend I am entering the Bournemouth pier to pier swim. This is approximately 1.4 miles of open water swimming, and yes, I’ll be wearing a wetsuit.

I’m raising money for Macmillan cancer support with this swim. I chose them because a friend and work colleague died last week, and I know this charity meant a lot to him, so it seemed a fitting way to remember him. Not entirely sure he was much of a swimmer himself, however!

I’d love it if you could sponsor me – every little helps, and this is a very worthy charity. I know that many of my blog readers will have been touched by cancer in one way or another.

Here’s the link to my JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/Kathleen-McGurl/  and here’s a gratuitous photo of me looking hideous in a wetsuit.
