FUNDRAISERS are being encouraged to take a dip to raise money for Marie Curie.

Swimathon 2015 takes place from April 17 to 19 and more than 600 pools across the country are taking part to raise vital funds for the charity, which has a hospice in Bradford.

Marie Curie community fundraiser Jen Aspinall said: “We’re looking for swimmers to help make this the biggest and best Swimathon yet. In 2013, 15 swimmers took part across Bradford and together raised a brilliant £2,826 for Marie Curie.”
