Swimathon for Bex Swimathon for Bex is a charity swim event and was first held in March 2020.

Hi everyone,

Many of you will be aware that 2024 has been an especially challenging year for me health-wise. A reoccurrence reared its ugly head in February with some horrible symptoms and in June it had progressed so significantly that I spent 6 weeks in hospital for emergency surgery to remove several tumours which were blocking my small bowel and stopping me from eating and drinking.

Pseudomyxoma Survivor, a small charity, kindly provided accommodation for my family during my time in The Christie Hospital which was comforting for all in very worrying times.

As a way to 'give back', Amanda is running the Yorkshire Marathon on Sunday 20th October and is hoping to raise much needed funds for the charity. If you feel able to help, we would be incredibly grateful if you could pop some money on her Just Giving Page ...

I'm recovering well at home now, getting stronger each day and nervously waiting for my first post-op CT scan results; they couldn't remove all of my tumours but I'm really hoping that what is left hasn't grown!

We did it!! We swam the length of all the lakes in the Lake District (85km).
Congrats to all the 70 Lazonby Pool swimmers including 30 children, the youngest being 3!
Huge shout out to our Satellite swimmers including Viv & Co who outdid themselves swimming a collective 57.4 Kms between 14 swimmers! Ryan McGlen’s 3.8 km swim was part of the Jurassicman Extreme triathlon which he went on to complete in just over 19 hours.
What a massive achievement and over £3000 raised already for the Christie Charity & Pseudomyxoma Survivor Charity. If you would like to make a donation, our JustGiving Page is still open... https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Swimathon-for-bex
