Why take part in the Great North Swim for Alzheimer's Society?

In return for swimming for us we will send you everything you need to ensure a great experience. You'll get a fundraising guide, training tips and your very own top to wear on the day. As you have your own place in the race we do not have a sponsorship target, we just ask that you try and raise as much as you can.

We'd love you to join Alzheimer's Society team in the fight against dementia. With your help we can continue to support those with dementia and their carers. Email challenge@alzheimers.org.uk to join our team.
