THE CHESTNUT APPEAL

Swims.

By taking part in one of our sea swim challenges, you’re helping to change the lives of men’s cancer patients and their families across the South West. 

We’ve been running our famous swims for around 15 years. Those who take to the water with us each summer include men who’ve experienced cancer, but also sisters, brothers, friends, mums – anyone who’s been impacted by male cancer.

Each event is a unique opportunity to swim in an iconic setting in Devon or Cornall, while raising money that can help to save lives.
