Glynis Harcus and her Wild Weemin will be in Orkney for a final set of swims and fundraising push for Cancer Research UK on Saturday July 27th and Sunday July 28th.
This all started last November when the group set themselves the challenge of swimming off thirty of Shetlands beaches in 30 days leading to them raising over £27,000 so far this year.
Glynis Harcus, Relay for Life Shetland committee member, said
“As I am originally from Orkney and they don’t have their own Relay we are coming to swim there in memory of those and to any others who might be surviving cancer or who have lost their lives to cancer.”
Glynis lost her father, Melville and brother, Roy to cancer went on to say,
“I’m doing this for them and for everyone that this heartbreaking disease impacts.”
The Wild Weemin will be shaking buckets on the beaches in Orkney or you can donate on their Just Giving page by searching for ‘Wild Weemin Beaching it’ or following the link www.justgiving.com/team/teambeach.
Kerry Llewellyn, Chair Relay for Life, Shetland, said
“Glynis and her friends are a real inspiration and their ongoing swims are incredible. The Relay for life Shetland has raised £174,868 so far this year and all teams can keep adding to their totals through until the end of August.”
