East Kilbride Boy Bravely Swims to Aid Cancer Charity Beatson

Hey, guess what I just read? It’s a cool story. This Sunday, March 2nd, is the day an eleven-year-old boy will do something brave. He’s from East Kilbride, a place in Scotland.

Harry Hughes will take a cold water dip at Irvine Beach. His mum and her work friends join in to raise money for cancer.

Harry’s doing it because of his grandpa, who recently had radiotherapy. He’s showing support in a big way.

Harry said the water is really, really cold, but he knows what his grandpa faces. The team supports people facing cancer, and their efforts are inspired by family.

Karen works at Wholesale Domestic. They have been raising funds for Beatson and have been partners since 2024.

It shows how important fundraising truly is. Beatson helps cancer patients and their families and operates all over Scotland.

Karen is proud of her son, saying the cold is less than grandpa’s struggle. The team does a lot for Beatson Cancer Charity.

Heilidh Wilson works at the charity and says they are very thankful. Harry makes a difference for his grandpa, and every bit helps them give vital care.
