Charity 8 Challenge 2025

JESSICA LONGMORE is raising funds for CHOC

Hello everyone

In February next year, I will be swimming to “keep more than hope alive.”

I am swimming 8 miles (12.8 km) for CHOC - Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa, to raise awareness and financial support for CHOC.

πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸŒŸπŸ’™πŸ„πŸŽ—οΈ

CHOC is a non-profit organisation that provides free, comprehensive support to families of children with cancer and life-threatening blood disorders.

This cause is very close to my heart. Most of us personally know or have heard of children and teenagers fighting cancer. It is an incredibly tough road for patients and their families. In South Africa, many families lack access to the resources they need to face this struggle.

I swam one mile for CHOC last year, remembering two friends I know who are struggling with cancer. I found the CHOC staff to be incredible. I have become very passionate about this cause and am in awe of CHOC's amazing work.

Please consider supporting my swim  and donating towards this cause. No matter the size, every contribution will give children a better chance and support families through exceptionally challenging times.

Thank you for joining me on this ambitious swim for a cause. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated
