I am Taking It On this November
Hey everyone,
It is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and I am Taking It On.
I’m swimming 50 miles over the month of November. This means I’ll swim 4034 lengths during the month, which averages 134.4 a day! I’m doing this in memory of my beautiful Mum and my Nan who both died of Pancreatic Cancer. My Mum was my best friend and I miss her so very much every day.
Please give what you can to support me in Taking It On for pancreatic cancer.
By uniting together we can transform the future for all those affected by pancreatic cancer.
1 in 4 people won’t survive a month. 3 in 4 won’t survive for a year. This is an emergency. We need change, fast. It’s time to Take It On.
With your help we can ensure we fund research that will lead to earlier diagnosis and faster treatment, saving more lives.
Thank you,
Rebecca xx

All done!
Well I completed my final swim today. I've ended the month on 55.8 miles which is 4500 lengths. I managed to muster the energy to swim 150 lengths every day. I have to say I feel great but very tired now and rather emotional. Thank you for the donations and the lovely messages. I hope my Mum is watching from her special cloud and knows that all this is for her.

Well I've only gone and done it! After my early morning swim today, I have hit 50.22 miles which is 4050 lengths! I'm going to keep going until Saturday so I will be lots over my goal. Thank you to all who sponsored me and supported me through this month. I've loved it.
