Ailana's bathers
This year, a new team is formed for The Big Bathe that will swim in loving memory of Ailana Kamelmacher. We miss Ailana incomprehensibly and will be swimming with her in our hearts to raise money for these important causes. Touched enormously by Victoria's story after meeting her sister Georgina, Ailana's sister Hannah is now part of Team Big Bathe HQ....
In loving memory of Victoria Hall-Hulme, The Big Bathe is an annual charity swim. Taking place at West Wittering beach, West Sussex, swimmers can either participate in a 750m or a 1.5km swim and are encouraged to raise money for our two charities: Bowel Cancer UK and St Wilfrid’s Hospice, Bosham, Chichester.
Organised by Victoria’s sister, cousin and friends, our mission for the Big Bathe is to bring people together to be brave like Victoria. It is about turning pain into power. Our purpose is to raise as much money and awareness as possible for young people with bowel cancer and support our local, loving hospice.
This event has finished.

Ailana was a beam of light. I am so so sorry for you all to have lost her. I worked with her a bit and hung out probably 20 years ago - what a wonderful, joyful woman.
