11 mile swim across the longest lake in the country!

Jasen Jackiw

In late August, I'll be embarking on a mission, swimming the challenging 11 miles across Lake Windermere in memory of cherished individuals who left indelible marks on not just my life but many peoples – Liz Farmer, my beloved mother-in-law; Myron Jackiw, an amazing cousin; and Jamie Danks, a very close friend.

This undertaking is not just a physical challenge but a heartfelt tribute to honor their memories. Bury Hospice, a beacon of compassion, provided invaluable end-of-life care to Liz, and the angels within this organization left an everlasting impact.

Additionally, I am supporting Andy's Man Club, a vital initiative committed to addressing and assisting men facing mental health struggles. In memory of Myron and Jamie, who, tragically, succumbed to their inner battles, I believe in the power of conversation and support.

Through this swim, I aim to raise funds for these incredible causes, Bury Hospice and Andy's Man Club, to ensure others receive the care and support they need during challenging times. Your contribution will not only propel me across Lake Windermere but, more importantly, contribute to fostering compassionate care and mental health support.

Thank you for joining me on this meaningful journey...

    Steve (Nuffield printworks steam room)

    I have donated this £5 on behalf of a remarkable gent called steve aged 71 who I met in Nuffield health club in the printworks after a swimming coaching session. After we were talking about his life long love for fitness I explained about this swim and he asked me to wait there… Steve then returned with £5 and said he wants to sponsor me! What an amazing human - so I have made sure his money was in the pot!
