Swimming 5K for ‘’Make 2nds Count’’

In 2022 Banyards adopted the charity ‘’Make 2nds Count’’ a patient and family focused charity dedicated to giving hope to women and men living with secondary breast cancer. They aim to do this by raising awareness and funding for medical research that will contribute to advancing an increased quality of life for patients.  ​​

In honour of one of our loyal members of staff, this charity is close to our hearts and throughout the year Banyards have held many fundraising events to hit our target of £2,500.

In order to play his part, our heroic London Commissioning Manager Ben Paul has risen to the mighty challenge of swimming 5k (250 lengths) in less than 4 hours. Ben has also set himself a challenge to raise a minimum of £500 which will be a fantastic personal achievement.

Since July 2022 Ben has taken it upon himself to get back into swimming after quitting professionally 17 years ago and in order to spur him on decided to take on the above challenge to help Banyards smash their attributed target.

Swimming every day for the last three months Ben has been swimming an hour a day which started at 80 lengths (1,600m) and steadily grew to the 150 lengths (3,000m) it is today.

Unfortunately, at the end of August, Ben had a re-occurring shoulder injury come back, and it was taken on advice from his Chiropractor to swim only 3-days a week therefore, spinning was put into the training mix to fill the other 2 days.

So 16 miles spinning, and 9km a week swimming, 1 stone lighter, and 2inches gained in height through posture correctness Ben is now ready to swim the 5k for ‘’Make 2nds Count’’.

Please help us to help Ben to raise money for such a great cause!

Thank you in advance.
