Take part in The Big Swim and raise funds for a good cause

DOUGIE Mac has launched a brand new fundraising challenge, The Big Swim, and is encouraging swimmers to grab their goggles and take part to raise money for their local hospice this summer.

Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just a beginner, Dougie Mac is urging people to take the plunge and sign up for a collective 52km swim to mark and celebrate 52 years of care at Dougie Mac.

Swimmers taking part in The Big Swim can pledge their own distance towards the overall 52km target and they can complete their pledged distance throughout July or during the Big Swim Finale Weekend at the end of July, alongside other Dougie Mac swimmers.

Deborah Vickers, Head of Business and Events Fundraising, said: "The Big Swim is a brand new challenge this year and we're really excited.
