The Lou Parker Open Water Charity Swim.
Save the 19th September in your diaries for one of our favourite events in the calendar.
We have run The Lou Parker Open Water Charity Swim for the past 10 years in memory of our good friend and fellow openwater swimmer Lou Parker. Lou sadly passed away in 2010 from Melanoma and so as always we are organising this swim to raise awareness of this terrible disease to our amazing swimmers and help raise funds for a very special charity.
All proceeds of this swim will be donated to the Melanoma Fund a national charity that campaigns tirelessly to ensure as many people understand the risks of excessive sun exposure as possible, especially sunburn, which can triple the chances of melanoma. For further information in the great work they do visit www.melanoma-fund.co.uk. The event is always very popular. Please come along and help us celebrate the life of our friend, and help us do something positive against this most dangerous form of skin cancer, to those most at risk.
