NOW in its seventh year, my Mile Swim Challenge continues to attract thousands of participants. This year's challenge takes places from May 17-31 and can be swum at any pool in the UK. You can swim the distance in one or several attempts, spread over the two weeks. You can even get together with friends and each swim part of the mile.

This year, we are aiming to raise £250,000 for the Cancer Research Campaign. All participants receive a Certificate of Merit from myself and, depending on sponsorship raised, badges, T-shirts and swim bags. This year, there are also five luxury holiday weekends in London to be won by the top fund-raisers.

Please, join me in May and Swim a Mile. Let's support the vital work undertaken by the Cancer Research Campaign.

For more information or an entry form, contact the Swim Action Line on 01382 451146 or pick up an entry form from your local pool.
