Breast Cancer Now, a renowned charity dedicated to funding cutting-edge research and providing crucial support to people affected by breast cancer, is organizing the 'Swim 10 Miles in July' challenge. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just dipping your toes into the water, this charity swim offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to a vital cause, whilst improving your own health. Join swimmers of all ages and abilities as they swim 10 miles throughout the month of July, supporting Breast Cancer Now's mission of making a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.
Swimming for a Purpose
Breast Cancer Now is a leading research and support charity in the UK, committed to helping over 600,000 people living with or beyond breast cancer, as well as their loved ones. By participating in the Swim 10 Miles in July challenge, you can help raise funds to support their world-class research efforts and life-changing support programmes. Every swim stroke you take will bring us one step closer to a future free from the devastating impacts of breast cancer.
How to Participate
Participating in Swim 10 Miles is flexible and rewarding. Swim at your own pace, whenever it suits you, and choose a pool or open water venue of your preference. We have 5 pools across our four sites that you can use! Throughout July, aim to complete approximately 20 lengths of a 25m pool each day, totalling 10 miles by the end of the month of July. By starting your fundraising journey and securing your first donation, you can receive a Breast Cancer Now T-shirt and swimming cap. Achieving a fundraising milestone of £150 will earn you a well-deserved medal, symbolizing your dedication and support for the cause.
Supportive Community and Resources
You won't be alone on this swimming adventure. Swim 10 Miles in July has a dedicated Facebook community page where you can find encouragement, connect with fellow participants, and share your progress. This online support system ensures that every stroke you take is backed by a strong network of like-minded individuals, all striving to make a difference. If Facebook isn't your preferred platform, don't worry; Breast Cancer Now offers the option to set up a JustGiving page, keeping you informed of the latest news and updates.
Dive into Action
Breast Cancer Now urges all participants to set up a Facebook fundraiser to maximize the impact of their fundraising efforts. However, if you don't have a Facebook account, you can still take part by creating a JustGiving page. Every contribution counts, no matter the amount, and there is no minimum fundraising requirement to join the Swim 10 Miles challenge. So, whether you're aiming to make a small splash or a big wave in supporting Breast Cancer Now, your efforts will be cherished.
